Richard the 3rd has a home here in Middleham Castle and he was called the Windsor of the North. The castle was built sometime around 1170 and was not the first castle built here. The original castle had walls twelve feet thick and was three stories high. It used to be one of the largest castles in England. Unfortunately it now sits as ruins but is still fun to look at and explore. When the weather is warm there are battle reenactments to be watched.

First founded in 1156 Jervaulx abbey was originally a Cistercian abbey. When the monasteries were dispersed by King Henry the VIII he also closed Jervaulx abbey and sold it. King Henry the VIII then redistributed the abbey's wealth. While the lead roof was removed and is ruined, pieces of the abbey were salvaged and have been placed in the construction of local churches. There is a great deal of wildflowers and vegetation that has grown over the area but this treasure can still be seen.
