The ruins at Fountains Abbey are the largest monastic ruins in England. The abbey was founded in 1132 by 13 Benedictine monks from St Mary’s in York. They'd grown tired of the extravagant and rowdy way that the monks lived in York and so they escaped, seeking to live a devout and simple lifestyle elsewhere. This was how they came to Fountains. #fountainsabbey #northyorkshire #virals #beautifuldestinations #yorkshire #Abbeys | Beauty of the World

An aerial pan at Fountains Abbey, captured on a cold morning with a light mist hanging in the valley. Founded in 1132, this became one of the great Cistercian houses of England - built on discipline, organisation, and a landscape shaped to serve the abbey as much as frame it. From above, the scale makes sense: the long church, the ranges, the layout of a working monastic world rather than a single “ruin”. The mist does something brilliant here. It softens the edges, pulls the eye along the river

Fountains Abbey is truly a place everyone should see in their lifetime. You can feel the weight of history whilst also appreciating the peacefulness which brought 13 disgruntled monks from St Mary’s Abbey, York here in the 1130’s to set up their own monastery in the Cistercian order. . This was a very popular stop on The Catherine Howard Tour, last September and will be featured in a brand new tour in Spring/Summer 2027, soon to be released. .
