Fountains Abbey ruins
A bit of a touristy shot maybe but I was moved by the beauty and setting of this old ruin.
This abbey was established in 1132 by devout monks seeking a simpler existence. The atmospheric ruins that remain are a window into a way of life which shaped the medieval world.
The abbey operated for over 400 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of the monasteries.
One-of-a-kind, it is now recognised as a World Heritage Site.
