  Situated in the beautiful and remote valley of the River Rye, Rievaulx Abbey was founded in 1132 by monks from Clairvaux in France. It quickly grew to become the pre-eminent Cistercian abbey in Britain. This guide includes a tour and history of the site, illustrated with full-colour maps, reconstruction drawings and historical images.
