- MrSte193Leeds, United Kingdom6 contributionsGreat day out.What an absolute gem, this beautiful Abbey is well kept and a lovely day to spend the day. The only downside I would say is the cost of parking at £15 a car on the day. You can save a bit of money pre booking though so check out their website.Visited October 2023Travelled with familyWritten 5 October 2023
- lorretta bLeeds, United Kingdom142 contributionsOne of the best Abbeys in YorkshireThis Abbey is a wonderful place to visit all seasons . There is a really good little cafe where you can get a light snack & a warm drink . if your a Leeds Resident you can apply for a free Pass to go round the Abbey its self . just take proof that your a Leeds Resident [a bill or something with your post code on ] The pass is then valid for 12 month . The Grounds are free to walk round even if your not from Leeds . a walk along the path by the River Aire finally takes you down to Kirkstall shopping area . I would recommend a visit to this amazing Site . Over the road is Abbey Museum if its a wet day worth a look round the kids will love it . There is free parking but Not a big car park .Visited January 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 17 January 2024
- Sue00doNorth West England, United Kingdom613 contributionsBeautiful and well kept ruins!We took our 6 year old Grandson and briefly introduced him to Henry XIV! (Not easy to explain the Reformation to a 6 year old!) The weather wasn’t great and the ground was muddy in places but the ruins are well preserved and the information boards are well placed. Nice little cafe and shop. As we are not from the area we had to pay which is not a problem, as we think it important to preserve these historical places, but we also paid to go into the Abbey House museum plus parking, it might be a good idea to sell a combined ticket if you are visiting both and reduce the price a little. We will return in the summer when the weather should have improved, a lovely way to spend a few hours in the sunshine, lots of areas to explore!Visited January 2024Travelled with familyWritten 19 January 2024
- BigJeff L1,983 contributionsPerfect RuinThe Abbey is perhaps not as famous as some of its brothers in North Yorkshire, but on further investigation it does warrant being up there. It is largely intact and as well preserved as any of the others. It is located in parkland with a pleasureable walk around the complex available. After a £5.5 million renovation programme there is a new visitor centre with interactive exhibits which illustrates the history of the abbey and the lives of the monks. Entry to the Abbey itself is via the visitor centre – £5, but with a donation box. Occasionally, guided tours are available (free of charge). If you are a Leeds resident then you can enter for free but you will need proof of your address. There is also a cafe and small gift shop.Visited March 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 19 March 2024
- Ludwik D377 contributionsLots of ruinFor the first time I appreciate this ruined abbey because it's so much better than other ruins that I've visited elsewhere. There's plenty of ruins, not just the abbey but out buildings. A nice park with flowers and paths, a riverside walk and a museum on the opposite side of the roadVisited April 2024Travelled soloWritten 3 April 2024
- Sue BSolihull, United Kingdom109 contributionsBrings history to life.An amazing historical building which has been maintained to show how it used by the monks. Excellent information boards as you follow the route round the buildings. On a bus route from Leeds centre so very easy to get to. Well worth a visit.Visited April 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 22 April 2024
- C BBurnley, United Kingdom15 contributionsTake time to visitHad a lovely visit to this beautiful abbey. There's a lot still intact and a lot to see. One of the volunteers, Trevor, gave me a guided tour and I got more out of my visit by being shown what things were and how the monks lived. He was very friendly and informative. I've seen it so many times from the train, I'm glad I took the time to go and see it. Since the ticket is valid for a year, I plan to go back.Visited May 2024Travelled soloWritten 7 May 2024
- Tokyo JAnglesey, United Kingdom369 contributionsBeautiful RuinsWhat a great place to visit! These historic ruins of a once proud abbey is a must visit when you're in Leeds. It's not that far of a walk from Headingley train station. Information boards all around the place tell you how monks worked and lived here. The architecture inside the buildings is amazing and the place is very atmospheric. Definitely come here if you're in the area.Visited May 2024Travelled soloWritten 20 May 2024
- Guide783343Tadcaster, United Kingdom20 contributionsCalm on the outskirts of the cityFantastic, historic building, very calming and mediative despite being on the outskirts of a busy city. Must be one of the best preserved in the country.

- sunrise99725 contributionsKirkstall AbbeyI had a great day out here. However, there is now a charge. You can pay and then have a pass so you can visit for the rest of the year. The cafe sells bakes and sandwiches. I learnt that the road used to go straight through the centre of the abbey until it was eventually moved. Amazing the abbey still survives. It’s worth a trip out.Visited July 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 14 July 2024
