One of the Best Places To Visits in Finghall Frequently mentioned in reviews: Top-rated.online cuts through the clutter, highlighting only the reviews that are most helpful, earn the most likes, or come from the most active contributors. Parking is across the road. Honesty box for payment. The cafe is only open Thursday, Fri, sat, and Sunday, so no cafe, no toilets. The ruins again have an honesty entrance fee. They're nice to look around, but it doesn't take long to see them all. I didn't see any signs for walking around the large grounds, and if this is at all possible it should be made clearer. Otherwise this is a fairly short excursion.. Lovely historic overgrown but gives it a cool Atmosphere dog friendly and surrounded by a massive Lovely little not far from Middleham with a car across the road. Honesty box to pay for entry. The is a bit overgrown but it adds to the atmosphere. Great place to walk the dog. An experience. Having been faced with an ‘Honesty Box’ in the car recommending £1, you’re met with a second such box at the entrance to the across the road asking for £5. Notices are everywhere asking children not to climb on the walls or stones (most are precariously balanced in the form of a dry stone wall to the length of the left hand side). Unfortunately on my visit, there were two Mums, or child minders, who had around 6 kids short of their ADHD meds, who did nothing but shout and scream at the top of their voices. They then followed me around the ruins, without being called back, shouting obscenities. So much for the being ‘Tranquil’ as advertised on the way in. An absolutely amazing, peaceful place, so lovely and very interesting, very informative guide book to purchase, no admission as such but it's based on an honesty box, as is the car situated over the road.... so sad to hear some complete numpties got in overnight and decided to vandalise parts of it, cutting stones and stealing them, shameful and disrespectful to the heritage and the family that own the site 😢 I can only echo the views of Dr Ian - see previous reviews - there is a request for a donation for the car and then a further honesty box at the entrance to the abbey. It says that the is 'tranquil' but we had a group of children shouting loudly. I accept that children are children and need to be boisterous from time to time. But we left soon after they arrived. A really stunning Abbey, well looked after and such a fun place for the kiddies to play hide and seek. The cafe was amazing too, delicious food (with really tasty vegan options available) and kind staff. A charming, peaceful and quiet place to sit and relax away from the hustle and bustle. Lots of undergrowth growing on and around the ruins, which really add to its rustic appeal. Honesty box entry - you can pay with cash or Apple/Google pay/card on the website. Car is over the road - honesty box payment there too, or you can pay on the website as above. Very nice cafe just next to the car too - perfect to relax after your stroll around the castle.
