Set amid woodland in North Yorkshire, this unusual monastery is the best
preserved Carthusian priory in Britain. Mount Grace Priory is the perfect
tourist attraction for a relaxing and peaceful day out. Discover how the
monks lived 600 years in the reconstructed monk's cell and herb plot.
The crumbling masonry and open grassland have become home to a collection of
wildlife that has taken advantage of what man and the monks left behind.
The famous priory stoats inhabit the passages under Mount Grace and are
possibly the best-known colony of stoats in Yorkshire and even the British
Isles.
Please note: on the days there are summer evening theatre events, the site
will open at 12 noon.
