Fountains Abbey - the 'classic' view.

8.10.2020.

The 'classic' view of the abbey from De Grey's Walk - with a very full River Skell.

 

Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in Europe. It was founded in 1132 and operated for 402 years until being 'dissolved' by Henry VIII in 1539.

 

Now in the care of the National Trust.
