More about this scene

Abbot Huby's magnificent north tower at Fountains Abbey, in the valley of the River Skell near Ripon, is a Yorkshire landmark virtually unchanged since the 12th century when it was built. The former Cistercian monastery, with its great east window prominent on the left, still fills the grounds of Studley Royal, but is now served by an award-winning National Trust visitor centre on the hillside above.
