Bolton Abbey in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire, England, takes its name from the ruins of the 12th-century Augustinian monastery now known as Bolton Priory. The priory, closed in the 1539 Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by King Henry VIII, is in the Yorkshire Dales, next to the village of Bolton Abbey.

Addingham is listed as a settlement in the Doomsday Book. It’s thought to have been populated from at least the Bronze Age. It’s nestled between Skipton and Ilkley on the A65. The river Wharfe runs through it. As did the Tour de France, which passed through twice!

Ilkley is a local spa town. It was a Roman town named Olicana. The remains of the Fort can be found near the Manor House. Ilkley is famous for its moor. Which is represented within the words of the Yorkshire anthem! The moors are full of historic stone monuments as well as an old Roman bath in White Wells

Historic market town of Skipton offers plenty to see and do. Hire a canal boat, shop in the market or visit the castle.

Famous for the Brontë Sisters. Walk the cobbled streets, the moors and parsonage.
