Stopped by in passing

We were on our way to Barnard Castle and saw the sign so decided to stop and have a look. Not really much to see and although the ruins are interesting, would definitely not make special journey to see them.

A must see and a great place to relax

Eggleston Abbey is a must see and a great place to relax. The ruins are spectacular. I can only imagine what it was like before being destroyed by Henry the eighth. Plus it is free. There is a large parking lot at the site.

Great ruins

If you are visiting Barnard Castle then just down the road is these ruins of a monastery, it is also English heritage but free to get in, it is great on a sunny day to take a picnic along. Would recommend a visit.

Couldn’t find the place - no signs no website no clue they need to try harder to get visitors. Certainly not near

Beautiful mellowed stone ruins

In a lovely setting by the river Tees which you can hear below, this is an atmospheric ruined abbey. Lots to explore. Easy to find your way around. Free parking.
