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

I'm taking on a gruelling 200 mile cycle from Chatsworth House to Ampleforth at the end of May.  In honour of young Bruno, who sadly passed away., his family want to do something positive in his memory and are trying to rasie £600,000 in total for a perpetual Bursary Fund.  The interest from this massive fund will fully fund in perpetuity a student from a disadvantaged background (specifwho would never otherwise get such a life changing opportunity to excel themselves) to attend Anpleforth College.  I want to do my bit to support this noble endeavour by grinding up a hill or two in Derbyshire and Yorkshire and raise a £500.  

know there are many calls on your generosity but I hope you can contribute something, anything to this fantastic idea.
