Brew with a View 👀

We might be biased, but we think the view from our Tea Room might be one of the loveliest views in Yorkshire!

With free entry and free parking, Ampleforth Abbey is the perfect place to relax, reconnect with nature and, of course, enjoy a pot of proper Yorkshire tea (tried and tested by Fr Paul).
