Kirkstall Abbey
Nestling on the River Aire in picturesque parkland, this medieval Cistercian abbey has well-preserved ruins dating back to 1152. Step back to the life of 12th-century monks as you explore where they ate, prayed and slept, along pathways with pointed archways. A short walk away at Abbey House Museum, traditional Victorian costumed guides show off the drinking house, undertakers' houses and reconstructed shopping street.
