Egglestone Abbey
Egglestone Abbey
The charming ruins of a small monastery of Premonstratensian 'white canons', picturesquely set above a bend in the River Tees near Barnard Castle.
Remains include much of the 13th century church and a range of living quarters, with traces of their ingenious toilet drainage system.
Great for exploring with small ones, or for older kids who draw or are into photography.
