Had a brilliant time here. The ladies who were running the Visitors Centre were absolutely brilliant. Very knowledgeable and we're excited to share that knowledge with us. Really started and ended the visit on a positive note. The woodlands and Terrace were amazing. Will definitely be coming back again

The terrace gives stunning views of the Abbey and surrounding countryside. The information boards give an very interesting history of why it was built and it's uses. A very nice place for a walk

The hike trail from Riveaulx Abbey is short but steep so take your time (beware the tapwater isn't drinkable so fill your bottles below). The walk in the woods is peaceful and the views from the terrace are majestic. The staff was very helpful as we didn't know there was a 2 in 1 ticket if you also visit the abbey, and helped us save a bit of money.

A stroll through a wood with various things in it, some designed for children to enjoy. Two temples ... the Tuscan is opened at some point in the afternoon. A long terrace with fine views of the Abbey. Not worth a visit on its own...it amounts to just a stroll with views, though on sunny day it would make for a lovely picnic with kids, after the play in the woods...if you are NT members. At £7 a person it's not worth the expense. If you are visiting the AbbeY, again as a EH member, a visit here is worth making.

Saturday 14th June Great views of the surrounding countryside and Rievaulx Abbey. Good walks available and interesting structures. Helpful and friendly staff in the shop. Toilets available onsite, no cafe, the closest is at Rievaulx Abbey (English Heritage).
