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.

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.

We welcome walkers and cyclists throughout the year.

Story

Dear all,

A great friends son 'Bruno' was born and died in January 2012. To ensure a lasting tribute to him I have decided to take part in the 2015 'Bruno 200 Cycle Challenge', and join a team of cyclists to cycle 200 miles in two days through the Derbyshire Peaks, the Yorkshire Dales and the North Yorkshire Moors.

The challenge will be tough to say the least, taking in more than 60 miles of the 2014 Tour de France, Gand Depart route including the now famous Cote de Buttertubs Pass!

What's even more concerning is that the furthest I've ever ridden before is only 50 miles in one day....best get the vaseline and sudocrem ready...

Please note that all donations will ease the pain considerably... Thank you.


The 'Bruno Challenges' aim to raise £600,000 for a bursary, in Bruno's name, at Ampleforth College. The funds will be kept in endowment so that each and every year they generate £30,000 to cover the cost of one student in the school for that academic year. We have requested that the students receiving Bruno's Bursary over the years be from a background most needing help and support, the most vulnerable and disadvantaged young people whose lives could change forever as a result of such a bursary at Ampleforth.
