How on earth do you rate an ancient piece of history 100's of years old? The Priory ruins are beautiful, but the crowning feature has to be the remaining far wall, dominating most of the site. Some of the features of this structure are amazing, beautifully worn away but still standing strong. It's a beautiful open space rich in history and anyone is welcome, as are donations for the upkeep of the grounds.

Not a huge amounts of ruins but this EH place (free to enter regardless) is a lovely area especially to take a picnic. There is a little EH hut for guide books and this was hosted on this day by the lovely Barbara a more perfect volunteer you couldn't wish for.

Such a beautiful place. Very well preserved. Clean and tidy. Free to walk around and view. Pets are allowed on the lead. Amazing place for a picnic on the grass or if you go further in there are benches and tables and bins provided.

Lovely place with fascinating history. Free entry too. Well worth a look.

Good place to chill out and do a little exploring with the kids. Plenty of benches tucked away for picnics and stuff and walking the full route takes a good 35 minutes. Keeps the kids occupied.

Well maintained grounds set in a beautiful area. Walled gardens were a bit bare although we were not in a growing season. Noticed no Drone flying signs were posted up near the entrance.

Nice ruins of the priory, worth a visit if passing

Worth a visit if you're in the town, free entry and parking nearby. Certainly a place of interest

This is local English Heritage attraction which looked after by a group of volunteers called "Gisborough Priory Project" who do a great job of looking after the Priory borders and the woodland garden as well as greeting visitors.

Lovely area to visit and enjoy a picnic with the priory as a scenic backdrop

Unable to leave a proper review, google says it's open now. It's actually closed for winter until 2nd March 2022. Hopefully save someone a wasted journey.

Nice sleepy little place but not a lot of shops etc. The market was on while I was there but nothing much of interest. Wasn't really worth the drive from Whitby to get there.

Guisborough Priory is one if my favourite places. A hidden gem tucked into a quiet town full of history and serenity. Guisborough Priory Project do a fantastic job of keeping the place well ran and have worked hard to restore a lot of the site.

Visited on Sunday for a Halloween fundraiser. An enjoyable couple of hours with kids aged 3-11.

This was our first visit to guisborough priory Firstly the directions given by Google maps is accurate however parking can be an issue There is parking nearby though so don't be put of by that. We wen on Sunday so parking was free which was a bonus. And took less than 10 minutes on foot to get to the priory. Entry to the priory ground is free but I would recommend giving a donation to help with the upkeep of the grounds (anything is better than nothing) the actual size of this is amazing and left me in awe 😀 you can take in some real history here and also get some amazing photos 📸 all whilst taking a leisurely walk and getting fresh air at the same time . We went with our 3 children ages 9 ,6 ,5 who were shocked at the sheer size of the remains. We will definitely go again in the summer and take it all in again in a different setting.

Very nice walk around the priory and the gardens, would recommend

Beautiful, well-maintained grounds with one star deducted for the compost loo which has no effective hand-washing facility: hand sanitiser is much inferior to soap and water. One tower of the remaining wall has a plastic ceiling above which is what must be decades of stinky guano from the birds who have made it their homes for many generations. Very yucky.

Lovely place to visit, very quiet and dog friendly. Person that greeted us on entry was really friendly and knowledgeable about the priory and took time out to show us masons marks on building and answer more of our questions. Worth spending an hour or so visiting.

Nice place to walk and the path in the woods is good too

Lovely gardens to walk around and knowledgeable Volunteer for the history of this site.
