Fountains Abbey is a World Heritage Site located in North Yorkshire. It is a beautiful and incredibly well-preserved medieval monastery that was founded in the 12th century by a group of monks seeking a simpler, more traditional way of life. The abbey is surrounded by a stunning landscape, including gardens, water gardens, and a deer park.

You can explore the abbey's historic buildings, including the church, cloisters, and chapter house, and learn about the daily life of the monks who lived there. The abbey also has a visitor centre with exhibits and interactive displays, as well as a café and gift shop.
