Wharfedale - Bolton Abbey
Bolton Abbey (really a priory), near the village of Beamsley, is a convenient setting-off point for exploring the beautiful scenery in Wharfedale. The most important part of this small but romantic ruin is the 12th century parish church, which was built in the Early English and Decorated styles. Its west tower was begun in 1520 but never completed. The gatehouse is incorporated in the adjoining Bolton Hall (19th century), seat of the Dukes of Devonshire.
