Welcome to Lanercost

Lanercost is a small village located in the county of Cumbria, England. It is situated on the banks of the River Irthing and is surrounded by beautiful countryside. The village is known for its historic buildings, including the ruins of Lanercost Priory, which was founded in the 12th century. The priory was once a place of great importance and was visited by many notable figures throughout history, including King Edward I and King Robert the Bruce.

One of the most impressive features of Lanercost is the priory ruins. The remains of the priory are extensive and include the nave, chancel, and transepts of the church, as well as the cloister and chapter house. The priory was dissolved in the 16th century during the reign of Henry VIII, and the buildings were left to decay. Today, the ruins are a popular tourist attraction and are open to the public. Visitors can explore the site and learn about the history of the priory and the people who lived there.

In addition to the priory ruins, Lanercost is also home to a number of other historic buildings. These include Lanercost Hall, a 14th-century manor house that was once the home of the Dacre family, and the Church of St. Mary Magdalene, which dates back to the 12th century. The village is also surrounded by beautiful countryside, with plenty of opportunities for walking and hiking. Overall, Lanercost is a charming and historic village that is well worth a visit for anyone interested in English history and culture.
