The Brief

Now an enchanting and charming ruin, Jervaulx Abbey was once a magnificent Cistercian monastery. Privately owned, and with tea rooms and a bed and breakfast property on site, this great Yorkshire treasure was in need of a beautifully crafted website to show off its wonderful features.

The Work

We started off by photographing the abbey ruin, B&B, tea rooms, gift shop and plant centre, and then set to work creating a website to complement the unique atmosphere of the abbey. To add to the site’s mood, the owners were keen to have a musical soundtrack to the site, so we contacted the composer of “Bells for Jervaulx” and embedded his pieces into the site’s homepage.

The Outcome

The new Jervaulx Abbey website is a triumph and has helped to increase visitors not only to the abbey, but also to the bed and breakfast business. The owners were delighted with the way the website captures the distinctive ambience of this very special Yorkshire attraction.
