Another shot from my day in Guisborough, and the area in which the Priory ruins are located is split into two parts. A large grass area shows off the ruins of the priory, and the area immediately to the south has been restored as an area of gardens. It had previously been formal gardens owned by the Chaloner family who lived in the neighbouring Old Gisborough Hall.
One attractive feature in this garden area is the Monk's Walk. A elongated diamond shaped path is formed by two parallel rows of lime trees just wide enouth to walk between, and an open area of grass at the centre of the diamond. The shot shows the walk between the two rows of trees.
Despite the name Monk's Walk, this was a feature of the formal garden and was created early in the 18th Century, around 200 years after the priory was destroyed following the Disolution of the Monasteries.
An organisation called Gisborough Priory Project have in recent years been responsible for a considerable amount of restoration of the gardens.
Beautiful pov and capture
There is so much history in the Guisborough area a big fav for me. They use the grounds a lot for wedding photos, as you can imagine, it’s a lovely area to use.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
I'm very impressed by the work of the volunteers who have in recent years been hard at work restoring the gardens. They have created a wonderful place of peace and tranquility.
