Jervaulx Abbey is a historic Cistercian monastery located in North Yorkshire, England. Founded in 1156, it was established by a group of monks from Fountains Abbey. The abbey flourished for several centuries, becoming an important center for religious life and agriculture in the region. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, Jervaulx Abbey fell into ruin. Today, visitors can explore the picturesque remains, including the impressive stone arches and tranquil gardens, which reflect the abbey's former grandeur. The site is a popular destination for those interested in history and architecture.
