THE ARCHES of FOUNTAINS ABBEY...

MAGIC CELLARIUM,
The Vaulted Cellarium is where stores of food were kept, because here they would stay cool, dry, and out of the sunlight.
I suddenly saw palm trees, lol?
In fact, it was one very large pantry.
If you walk beneath its arches at dusk on a summer evening, you’re more than likely to encounter one of the eight species of bat that have been reported around the Abbey.
The later it is, the better the light gets, another prime example here.
Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England.
Near Ripon in North Yorkshire.
Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, until 1539, when Henry VIII ordered the Dissolution of the Monasteries.
A MAGICAL place… so tranquil and peaceful
Have a wonderful day, filled with love and beauty, M, (*_*)
