A walk around: Rievaulx Abbey
A short music video from my walk around the stunning Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire. The original wooden Abbey was founded in 1131 by Walter Espec, lord of Helmsley but in 1135 construction began on the impressive stone structure which can still be partially seen today. Like may English Abbey's Rievaulx was destroyed by King Henry VIII during the English Reformation. What stands today is an absolutely stunning reminder of the what was once one of Englands largest Abbeys. The whole video was shot using the iPhone 7 Plus and Filmic Pro.

Places to see in ( Yorkshire - UK ) Rievaulx Abbey
Rievaulx Abbey ree-VOH is a former Cistercian abbey in Rievaulx, near Helmsley in the North York Moors National Park, North Yorkshire, England. Headed by the Abbot of Rievaulx, it was one of the wealthiest abbeys in England until it was dissolved by Henry VIII of England in 1538. Its ruins are a tourist attraction, owned and maintained by English Heritage.
Rievaulx Abbey was founded in 1132 by twelve monks from Clairvaux Abbey as a mission for the colonisation of the north of England and Scotland. The first abbot, St William I, started construction in the 1130s. During the 1150s, Abbot Aelred expanded the buildings. It was the first Cistercian abbey in the north of England. With time it became one of the great Cistercian abbeys of Yorkshire, second only to Fountains Abbey in fame.
The abbey lies in a wooded dale by the River Rye, sheltered by hills. The monks diverted part of the river several yards to the west in order to have enough flat land to build on. They altered the river's course twice more during the 12th century. The old course is visible in the abbey's grounds. This is an illustration of the technical ingenuity of the monks, who over time built up a profitable business mining lead and iron, rearing sheep and selling wool to buyers from all over Europe. Rievaulx Abbey became one of the greatest and wealthiest in England, with 140 monks and many more lay brothers. It received grants of land totalling 6,000 acres (24 km²) and established daughter houses in England and Scotland.
By the end of the 13th century the abbey had incurred debts on its building projects and lost revenue due to an epidemic of sheep scab (psoroptic mange). The ill fortune was compounded by raiders from Scotland in the early 14th century. The great reduction in population caused by the Black Death in the mid-14th century made it difficult to recruit new lay brothers for manual labour. As a result, the abbey was forced to lease much of its land. By 1381 there were only fourteen choir monks, three lay brothers and the abbot left at Rievaulx, and some buildings were reduced in size.
