Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.

So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

Rievaulx Abbey

Rievaulx Abbey ( pronounced ree-voh) is a former Cistercian abbey in Rievaulx, near Helmsley in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, England
There is parking just outside the ticket office / shop this is a pay & display but you will be refunded with your ticket, blue badge can park for free. 
Toilets are in the car park
The site is mostly on one level with the odd grassy slopes however it is a large site so allow time to enjoy
There are a few benches and a large grass area for picnics, there is also a nice level walk around the area.
Dogs are allowed in the abbey but not in the café
Very good museum which is educational for both child and adult!

There is so much to photograph, sketch, enjoy and absorb
