Byland with Wass sits in rural North Yorkshire, England, a small, sparsely populated area of rolling farmland and lanes on the edge of the North York Moors. The community is centred on the tiny settlements of Byland and Wass, where village life is quiet and largely agricultural.
The parish is best known for the dramatic ruins of Byland Abbey, a Cistercian foundation of the 12th century dissolved in the 16th century, which attracts walkers, photographers and history enthusiasts. Tourism around the abbey complements farming as the local economic focus, while the landscape and strong sense of local community give the area a distinctly peaceful, historic character.
