Rievaulx Abbey

Rievaulx Abbey was founded in 1132 and at one time housed over 140 monks. The monks were inspired by Saint Aelred to work hard in transforming the Abbey into a busy hub of commerce and industry. The grounds of the Abbey provided fertile farmland and sites for smelting iron. Today, it offers a haven of peace and relaxation – a perfect opportunity to pause and meditate on the experiences you’ve enjoyed along your walk. Helmsley itself marks the start of the Cleveland Way
