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

The Bruno Bursary Fund was established in loving memory of Bruno Mycielski, first son of Joe & Vivian. Bruno was born and died in January 2012. The Bruno 200 Cycle Challenge from Chatsworth House to Ampleforth College involves 200 of us cycling 200 miles on 29/30 May 2015. Together we aim to raise the final £158k needed. The goal is to have raised £600k in total, to be kept in endowment, so that every year £30k is generated to cover the cost of one student in the school for that academic year. I am training on two wheels for 20 weeks in preparation. If you CAN sponsor me, please, please do. Every £ will go to funding the education of a child who otherwise would not have the opportunity to learn and grow at Ampleforth. This is our lasting tribute to Bruno.
