Lovely old site to visit and explore. Dont need lots of time but did arrive late on. Nice to read the history too. Great place to have a trip out to

The historical ruins of Kirkstall Abbey were definitely interesting to explore. Photos dont do it justice, this place is massive! If you enjoy getting exercise, I recommend taking the scenic route and walking along River Aire to get to Kirkstall Abbey, as you will see Leeds in a new light. Unfortunately, Abbey House Museum closed 20 minutes early that day, but I had a great time nonetheless. Bring a friend and a hot cup of coffee or tea and you will have a good time.

Nice place to visit for an early morning walk, free car park if your visiting from distance.

Absolutely recommended if you are in to history. Very well preserved and free entrance.

Lugar precioso, los trabajadores muy amables y aún sin saber inglés fueron muy cordiales

Great architecture and a lovely walk

Kirkstall Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery in Kirkstall, north-west of Leeds city centre in West Yorkshire, England. It is set in a public park on the north bank of the River Aire. It was founded c. 1152. It was disestablished during the Dissolution of the Monasteries,

Piękne miejsce, czuć klimat przeszłości ;) ciekawe, że dawniej przez środek kościoła przechodziła główna droga przez miasto. Jeśli ktoś lubi tak poznawać historię to polecam bardzo. Główna część ruin robi wielkie wrażenie, w czasach świetności musiała zapierać dech :) Do tego piękny park, nad rzeką, można pohasać z paem lub pospacerować wśród zieleni :) Dla zainteresowanych: wejscie, zwiedzanie jest darmowe :)

Beautiful place not too far from the city centre. A reprieve from the hustle and bustle, and a whole lot of greenery.

Well kept for its ageLots of plaques telling the history of the various parts of the AbbeyVery quiet and tranquill nice to be able to take in the ambiance of the abbey

Everything great and free entrance

Great place for a picnic by the river and to walk around the beautiful abbey. Free car park across the road. Dont go on Mondays as the visitor centre is closed and we couldnt find any toilets.

Very interesting place! It really worth visiting!

Hidden gem. Very interesting for all ages.

Its okay. We were nearby, so had a little wander around. Its free to get it (which is about the right cost for the experiene).

Incredibly beautiful and most importantly, free! Free parking and free toilets too :)

Always a pleasure to visit this historical site. Free parking, lots of space and a museum and cafe.

A must visit if in Leeds

Opened my eyes beautiful scenery
