Still a lovely place to visit but access into the fenced off Abbey ruins is no longer free unless you are a Leeds resident (registration with proof of address)
For non-Leeds residents the charge is £5 per adult but you receive a card allowing repeated free admission for 12 months from your visit date
Rosie, January 2020
Kirkstall Abbey stands in a grassy park located between the busy A65 road and the river Aire. Dogs can be off lead here whilst you wander the paths around the outside of the Abbey but for a closer inspection of the ruins then free entry to the fenced off area (where dogs must be on a lead) is via the small visitor centre.
Numerous waste disposal bins are alongside the main paths. The park can be quite busy at weekends and during school holidays.
There are some nature trails and riverside paths running through the grounds if you want to explore further.
Free parking approx 100m away, adjacent to the Abbey House Museum which unfortunately does not allow dogs.
