About this Event
Our next ramble will be at the beautiful Fountains Abbey, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4 3DY
"For centuries people have been drawn to this inspiring place.
From humble beginnings the magnificent abbey was established by devout monks seeking a simpler existence. The atmospheric ruins that remain are a window into a way of life which shaped the medieval world.
When the socially ambitious John Aislabie inherited Studley Royal, he set about creating an elegant water garden of mirror-like ponds, statues and follies, incorporating the romantic ruins into his design.
Green lawns stretch down to the riverside, a perfect spot for a picnic. Riverside paths lead to the deer park, home to Red, Fallow and Sika deer plus beautiful ancient trees; limes, oaks, and sweet chestnuts.
One-of-a-kind, this special place is now recognised as a World Heritage Site." (National Trust)
We will meet at 11am for an 11.30am start. There are several accessible parking spaces and accessible toilets in the café. Parking charges are in force for non-National Trust members.
This will be a socially paced ramble with opportunities to stop for a break or take photographs. We will stop to have a packed lunch so it is worth bringing food and drinks.
