#Medieval Ruins: Whitby Abbey, North Yorkshire - Standing atop steep cliffs overlooking the village of Whitby, this was one of the most important monastic sites in England during the Anglo-Saxon period. Viking raiders destroyed the monastery in the 9th century, and it would take 200 years before a new abbey was built. The second monastery would last until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. @Medievalists
