Whalley Abbey is a ruinous 13th-century Cistercian abbey on the banks of the River Calder in the peaceful Ribble Valley in Lancashire. Whalley Abbey is a former Cistercian abbey which after the dissolution of the monasteries, was largely demolished and a country house was built on the site. Whalley Abbey was the second richest of Lancashire’s monasteries, founded in 1296, when the Cistercian monks of Stanlaw moved there from their flood-prone site on the Cheshire shore of the River Mersey near Ellesmere Port.

The Gregorian chant you are listening to is sung by the Cistercian Monks Of Stift Heiligenkreuz - the Cistercian Chant Responsories of Matins for the Feast of St Bernard : Testamentum Eternum

I was unsure about the music - but it is relevant to the visuals so I thought I would go with it.

Great footage, have you been to Wycoller Village, it’s not an abbey but it is equally beautiful with the house ruins on the river.
