The beautiful and tranquil setting of Lanercost Priory hides its troubled history. The Augustinian priory sits in the Cumbrian countryside beside the River Irthing but was subjected to frequent attacks during the Anglo-Scottish wars, once by Robert Bruce in person. It was a resting place for King Edward I for five months before his final campaign. After the dissolution, the priory was converted into a private house for the Dacre family and the monastery remains well preserved today.
