Studley Royal Park, United Kingdom - World Heritage Sites on Waymarking.com

Studley Royal Park, including the ruins of Fountains Abbey, combines into one harmonious whole buildings, gardens and landscapes constructed over a period of 800 years. All, important in their own right, have been integrated into a continuous landscape of exceptional merit and beauty. Its principal components are:

Studley Royal: one of the few great 18th Century ‘green gardens’. The garden contains canals and ponds, cascades, lawns and hedges, with elegant temples and statues used as eye-catchers.

Fountains Abbey ruins: it is one of the few Cistercian houses surviving from the 12th Century.

Jacobean Fountains Hall: an outstanding example of a building of its period and partially built with stone from the Abbey.

St. Mary’s Church: an outstanding example of High Victorian Gothic architecture.
