( HomePhotos → Fountains )

Fountains Abbey is the remains of an abbey, located close to Ripon, that was established in around 1132 AD and was in use for around 400 years.  I can say that Fountains Abbey is one of the most impressive sights I have seen, and the abbey is considered to be one of the finest monastic ruins in Britain.
