From the Wikipedia article
Bolton Abbey Estate in Wharfedale, North Yorkshire, England, takes its name from a 12th-century Augustinian monastery of canons regular, technically a priory, which was closed in the 1539 Dissolution of the Monasteries ordered by King Henry VIII. It is in the Yorkshire Dales, next to the village of Bolton Abbey. The estate belongs to the Duke of Devonshire. Most of the abbey is now ruins, but the large gatehouse and adjoining parts have been converted and extended into a substantial country house, Bolton Abbey Hall. The medieval church remains in use as a parish church, and is known as Bolton Priory. The estate is open to visitors, and includes many miles of all-weather walking routes. The Embsay & Bolton Abbey Steam Railway terminates at Bolton Abbey station one and a half miles/2.5 km from Bolton Priory.
