Kirkstall Abbey is a ruined Cistercian monastery in Kirkstall, north-west of Leeds city centre in West Yorkshire, England. It is set in a public park on the north bank of the River Aire.
My first few days in England and Leeds welcomed us with sunshine even in the afternoon! Way to go UK!
Kirkstall Abbey - my friend and I were so excited to see an old rundown building that we photo-whored this place.
