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

On Fri 29th and Sat 30th May 2015, 200 cyclists will cycle 200 miles from Chatsworth House in Derbyshire to Ampleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire.  The route for the first day is 105 miles and sees a total ascent of a staggering 11700 feet! The second day is set to be marginally easier with a mere 95 mile cycle through the Yorkshire Dales and a total ascent of some 6000 feet.  This is all for the educational purpose of establishing a fund to permanently finance a place at Ampleforth College for a child from an underprivileged background.  It will be tough, but I have no doubt it will be a memorable challenge for a unique and worthy cause.
