Selby Lodges & Holiday Parks

Immerse yourself in Selby's history

Selby's history weaves a captivating tale that stretches back to medieval times. At its heart stands the splendid Selby Abbey, with its Gothic architectural grandeur. Explore its interior, with its gran Norman nave, and learn about its history through informative displays and guided tours. The town evolved around the abbey and further blossomed with its pivotal role in the development of the railway. Today, remnants of its industrial past remain, and you can follow the historic Railway Heritage Trail from the iconic Selby Swing Bridge that spans the River Ouse past old railway stations, signal boxes and other structures that played a role in the town's connection to the rail network. You can also visit the Selby Museum to learn more about the town's history and heritage.
