モロスを見下ろし、デントンまで見渡せる素晴らしい景色がここにあります

Wow, what a place! Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Gardens completely blew me away. The abbey ruins are absolutely stunning – huge, dramatic, and full of atmosphere. You can just wander around and lose yourself in the history. The water gardens are gorgeous too –beautifully designed lakes, with statues, little follies, and surprise viewpoints. Catching a glimpse of the abbey from across the water is like something out of a painting. We also spotted deer in the park which was a bit of a treat! Loads of walking routes to choose from, so you can do a quick wander or spend the whole day exploring. There’s also two good on-site cafes, one at the visitor centre, and one lakeside venue. There are also plenty of picnic spots if you bring your own. The whole place is spotless and really well looked after. This was one of the best days out I’ve had in ages – peaceful, scenic, and full of history. It is also a World Heritage Site to boot, so you are in for a treat!

A hidden gem and interesting story behind the construction of the Temple. Beautiful views and an interesting undulating walk through stunning countryside.

The Devil's Arrows are three aligned standing stones. The standing stone alignment consists of some of the tallest standing stones in the United Kingdom. Erected during the Stone Age and distinctively grooved by millennia of rainfall, the tallest southernmost stone is 22.5 feet (6.85 m) in height, making this the second tallest menhir in the United Kingdom.

If you can stomach getting up very early for hikes and runs, then you will have the place to yourself. Absolutely stunning at around 6-7am in the early morning May sunshine.

Studley Royal Park, including the ruins of Fountains Abbey, is a UNESCO World Heritage Site in North Yorkshire, England. It features a beautifully preserved 18th-century water garden, designed by John Aislabie, alongside the dramatic ruins of Fountains Abbey, which was one of the wealthiest monasteries in medieval England before its dissolution by Henry VIII. The park is known for its scenic landscapes, ornamental lakes, canals, and classical follies, making it one of the finest examples of an English Georgian water garden. It is also home to a medieval deer park, where herds of red, fallow, and sika deer roam freely.

Studley Royal Park 800 acres, including an 18th Century landscaped garden, the ruins of Fountains Abbey, Fountains Hall Jacobean mansion and St Mary’s Church

Beautiful reflections and views.
