This is definitely taken at Byland Abbey. Photo taken on the south side of the Abbey, looking towards the wooded hills to the north.

The wall on the right of the photo is the east end of the Abbey. The wall on the left of the photo is the east side of the south transept.

Haven't checked here for a day or two so I was delighted to see all the responses.  Thanks everyone for the help.  A minor family mystery has been solved!  ;D

well I must say to all, me & the wifey were at Guisborough Priory & looks the same place.
It looks like Great Ayton in the background or Eston Hills, in Cleveland. You may want to check it out. Hope this helps

Similar stonework, but if you look at Jen's panorama in reply 9, it is clearly Byland Abbey.
