The Bruno 200 · 29 May 2015

Ampleforth Abbey is home to a community of Benedictine monks who welcome visitors into the Abbey for services, and to explore the extensive and stunning Abbey grounds. History & Heritage The Abbey Church and Visitor Centre offer a fascinating insight into a living monastic community. Founded in 1802, the Benedictine community at Ampleforth Abbey is the largest community of monks in the UK. The Abbey Church is filled with furniture, sculpture, and glass from skilled crafts people, including local oak craftsman Robert ‘Mousey’ Thompson. Retreats Our comfortable retreat facilities offer space to rest, reflect and relax away from the routine of everyday life. This place of prayer offers spiritual nourishment for those who seek it. All are warmly welcomed, whether part of a group, for a conference or your own personal retreat. Tea Room Home-made refreshments are available including hot meals and cakes, tea, coffee, and cold drinks including our Ampleforth Abbey apple juice and cider. Outside seating offers stunning views across the Ampleforth valley, and there is baby changing, children’s menu, and plenty of space to park buggies. Explore the Grounds The Ampleforth estate covers 1,200 acres of lakes and woodland in the Howardian Hills National Landscape, with the North York Moors National Park to the north. We welcome walkers and cyclists throughout the year.

Story

Joe and Vivian's son Bruno was born and died in January 2012.  To ensure a lasting tribute to him, they are raising money to set up a bursary at Ampleforth. This will cover the cost of one student per year, from the most vulnerable and disadvantaged backgrounds.  Bruno's memory will live on and change lives.

The Bruno 200 Cycle Challenge will take in 200 miles of Derbyshire and Yorkshire's finest scenery, over 2 days. It's a lumpy one, climbing over 11,000ft in the first day and over 7,000ft in the second.  It is safe to say that I will be sore at the end!!

But it is for an excellent cause, so please support me and donate if you can.
