Bolton Abbey Village Bolton Abbey Village

The village acquires its name from Bolton Abbey, a ruined Augustinian monastery on the banks of the River Wharfe. The quaint village stands adjacent to the Bolton Abbey Estate, which includes the abbey ruins. The abbey's church of St Mary and St Cuthbert is now the parish church of the village. The Bolton Abbey Estate currently belongs to the Dukes of Devonshire, and was previously owned by the Dukes of Cumberland.
