It is now in the care of English Heritage. Alas no audio tour - I do like these as it interprets what you see and give you a nice snapshot of the history.
I wandered into Pickering.... this is the North York Moors Railway station
I wandered into Helmsley to pick up some beer from the Helmsley Brewery for a friend and some lunch.
I wandered up to Rievaulx Terrace a grass covered terrace overlooking the ruins of Rievaulx Abbey. The site was created by Thomas Duncombe II. At one end of the terrace is a Doric temple and at the other an Ionic temple. It was intended as a banqueting house and the ceiling is covered with elaborate paintings.
I walked to it through the woodland walk.

Just lovely places you visited. The station is great...and wonderful woodland walk...and all that blue sky..
Sound like you had a great day out..welcome Pickering.
Super post and photos and very interesting. Thanks for the comment about audio tours - I have never thought to try one of those but sounds a good idea especially as half the time I never read the guide book fully until I get home and realise all the important things I missed!!
As you know love the new addition to the "family" :)
