Abbey House

Abbey House Kirkstall Leeds
Picture of Abbey House at Kirkstall, Leeds.

I took the above photo at Kirkstall Abbey Park this week back in 2010.

The picture shows the Abbey House that now houses the Abbey House Museum at the ruins of the Cistercian Abbey here at Kirkstall, a few miles from Leeds city centre.

The galleries of the museum feature the history of Kirkstall Abbey, Childhood, and Leeds Social History. There is also a nice cafe inside the former gatehouse of the abbey.
