Rievaulx Abbey and close by.

Rievaulx Abbey and the surrounding area - within one mile of the abbey. Rievaulx Abbey is approximately 12 miles east of Thirsk and in the North Yorkshire Moors National Park. This visit was in March and on a cold dull day - hence the lack of colour in the photographs.

These sheep and newly born lambs are in a field adjacent to the River Rye and in a field to the west of the abbey. The new born lambs (well, most of them) are wearing orange day glow plastic body warmers as protection against the bitterly cold north easterly winds. Never seen that before.
