After many months of darkness and rain, spring seems to be arriving in Yorkshire. The days are getting longer and we've had a full 7 days without rain. Despite P being on travel at the moment, Alfie and I took a solo trip to the beautiful
Kirkstall Abbey outside of Leeds. The ruins of another stunning Cistercian Abbey, this is considered a "daughter" abbey of the amazing
Fountains Abbey. The architecture and preservation is comparable to Fountains Abbey, but admittedly the land isn't quite as beautiful since it's near a main road. That said, we had a great day and enjoyed the flowers blooming around the park.
This was an easy 25 minute drive from home and parking was plentiful, so definitely worth a visit if you're in the area (and you could even do errands before or after!). Check out our photos below:
Beautiful crocus were blooming around the Abbey:
Alfie enjoyed posing in the flowers:
What stunning architecture!
The skies were so incredibly blue:

We stopped on the way home to look out over the beautiful green fields:
