Recognised as a World Heritage Site, the well preserved monastic ruins of Fountains Abbey transports visitors back to a time when religious life and the world were inseparable. Admire the ponds, statues and follies of Studley Royal Water Garden, picnic on lush green riverside lawns and wander down paths that lead to ancient deer park, where Red, Fallow and Sika deer graze.
