The Burdon family extends warm welcome to Jervaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire.
Plundered and pillaged during the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the Abbey now stands as an enchanting, charming and atmospheric ruin.
Allowed to flourish with wild flowers, shrubs and Trees freely exploring its many nooks and crannies. As a family run ancient monument we wanted to stand proud and keep the peace and tranquility that the Abbey would have always stood for.
Set in the midst of the beautiful Yorkshire Dales, Jervaulx Abbey's dramatic, yet tranquil ambience has won the hearts of many of its visitors. The Abbey is also a unique wedding venue, being licensed to hold legal ceremonies and a paddock suitable for marquee reception. A truly stunning way to spend the day with loved ones and creating memories to last a lifetime.
Winning a number of different awards for our baking, we started Where the Ribbon Ends, a celebration and wedding cake business in 2015, we also have a online shop with postable treat boxes, and two luxury shepherd's huts just across the road from the Abbey.
Jervaulx Abbey, is open all year round, dawn till dusk. Kept open and maintained on the entrance contributions of our visitors and our weddings, we are not connected to English heritage or National Trust or any other governing body to keep the abbey open day to day. We have a restoration page to read about the phases of work completed over the years. You are able to make a contribution on our Donation Page
