Rievaulx Terrace
Rievaulx Terrace is a breathtaking eighteenth-century landscape above the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey in the North York Moors, where a long grass terrace curves through woodland to offer a series of perfectly composed views down to the roofless columns and arches of the abbey below. It is a masterclass in the picturesque, a designed promenade that turns the medieval ruin into the finest landscape feature imaginable.
