Kirkstall Abbey, founded in AC 1152 by Abbot Alexander, is a ruined Cistercian monastery in Kirkstall northwest of Leeds city center in West Yorkshire, England. It is fortunate that the abbey buildings escaped the wholesale destruction and plunder that took place elsewhere, which made Kirkstall abbey the most complete set of Cistercian ruins in Britain.

The abbey today is a Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument. It is now home to a visitor center with interactive exhibits after a £5.5m renovation program.
Unlike most of the famous abbeys, it is free of charge!!!
It's open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10:00 to 16:30 (April to September), and from 10:00 to 16:00 (October to March).
