Really friendly NT staff ; amazing baby changing rooms; great breakfasts at main visitor centre (food & drink 20% off if you're staying in an NT cottage); and of course those superb vistas !
The grounds and ruins were great to go see and worth the visit. The architecture on the abbey was amazing, around some amazing grounds. The bird hide was good chance to see lots of different birds.
Excellent place to take the family. Explore the dramattic ruins.
Approach from the Studley Park end. Long vistas towards the Abbey . Make the climb to Ann Boleyn’s Seat - the surprise view is priceless. One of my favourite places - visit often. National Trust site.
Plenty of trails to walk. Abbey ruins are impressive and the water gardens are lovely.
Stunning scenery , lovely walks for all ages and abilities, nice tea rooms and very peaceful
Beautiful ruined abbey and water gardens . Stunning location to walk and explore.
Huge and impressive abbey ruin , but not extremely nice. Gardens and surroundings are worth spending a few hours.
Great place for children of all ages. Baby changing facilities in visitor centre and by fountain hall are fantastic
Well worth a look around the Abbey Ruins . There's a great view on a path above the water gardens . Don't miss the old mill house at the end near the Abbey .
Very dramatic place. Garden was very nice
Great for a walk with friends... Around the abbey or walk the seven bridges .
Make sure you take one of the tours to get the most out of it, run by volunteers and completely free!
Amazing buildings and a great walk out for all types of visitors
Worth to visit, historical place
Great place to stroll around and learn a few things
Glad I only had to pay for 2 extra people as my membership covers 4. As beautiful as this place is, it’s so expensive . We were only there 90 mins for £26
Fantastic views from upper path.
Brilliant lights and carols in the Abbey for Christmas
The children's cheese sandwich is Wensleydale. Nice touch!
Awesome, totally recomended
Ruins combined with manicured grass.
The Secret Garden was filmed here.
Perfect place to take the kids :)

Seasonal fare. Pretty good cakes. Children's menu available on both hot and cold food. Seating and servery is cafeteria style, but there's usually plenty of room to sit. - Chris Phillips
Great place for a pint after the races, especially sat outside by the river with a view of the cathedral. The food is pretty good too. - Dave Milne
