More visits: Roche Abbey


Weather is improving, so we are taking opportunities to visit places.

South of Yorkshire, there are nice Abbey remains, the Roche Abbey is dated from the 13th century, cisterian brothers (a rebel branch of the Benedictines). Very quiet and peaceful place, near a river!

Ideal for children like the ones in the picture (hehe).

The height of the buildings makes you wonder if the places were very cold, and how quiet this could have been. We spent some time walking in the valley of the Abbey. We heard the sounds of birds and the river. Ideal for relaxing.
