The ruins of
Byland Abbey lie in the rich farmland of the eastern limit
of the Vale of York, North Yorkshire, England. Very conveniently, the Abbey Inn is
across the road from the entrance to this grand historical
site in North Yorkshire. Byland Abbey was founded as
Savigniac house in 1134 but was brought into the Cistercian
order in 1147 but consequently suffered grievously at the
dissolution of the monasteries in the late 1530's onwards.
