The ruins at Fountains Abbey are the largest monastic ruins in England. The abbey was founded in 1132 by 13 Benedictine monks from St Mary’s in York. They'd grown tired of the extravagant and rowdy way that the monks lived in York and so they escaped, seeking to live a devout and simple lifestyle elsewhere. This was how they came to Fountains. #fountainsabbey #northyorkshire #virals #beautifuldestinations #yorkshire #Abbeys | Beauty of the World

Do you have plans for your free time? Plan a wander through history at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal. Ruins, still water reflecting historic follies and statues and snowdrops starting to open. And of course, there’s tea and scones to cover other day out essentials.

Fountains Abbey: How monastic ruins are being preserved from climate change impact

An aerial pan at Fountains Abbey, captured on a cold morning with a light mist hanging in the valley. Founded in 1132, this became one of the great Cistercian houses of England - built on discipline, organisation, and a landscape shaped to serve the abbey as much as frame it. From above, the scale makes sense: the long church, the ranges, the layout of a working monastic world rather than a single “ruin”. The mist does something brilliant here. It softens the edges, pulls the eye along the river

Fountains Abbey is truly a place everyone should see in their lifetime. You can feel the weight of history whilst also appreciating the peacefulness which brought 13 disgruntled monks from St Mary’s Abbey, York here in the 1130’s to set up their own monastery in the Cistercian order. . This was a very popular stop on The Catherine Howard Tour, last September and will be featured in a brand new tour in Spring/Summer 2027, soon to be released. .

Hundred Fountains Garden, Tivoli, Italy 64 waterfalls, 220 pools and basins, and around 500 water jets. This is not just a beautiful garden, it’s a real “water theatre” with a breathtaking play of light, sound, and movement. Villa d’Este and its gardens are a UNESCO World Heritage masterpiece, where the fountains still work without any pumps — only by gravity. The Fountain of the Organ (Fontana dell’Organo) is a true feat of Renaissance hydraulic engineering. Water pressure drives hidden mechani

Step back in time at Fountains Abbey, one of the largest and best-preserved Cistercian monasteries in England 🏰🌿 Founded in 1132, these breathtaking ruins are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by beautifully landscaped water gardens and rolling countryside. Walking through the ancient stone arches, cloisters, and the towering abbey church feels like travelling straight into medieval history.
