In the 18th century, a landscaped park was designed around the ruins of the Cistercian Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. The spectacular remains of the 12th-century abbey and water mill, the Jacobean house of Fountain Hall, the Victorian masterpiece St Mary's Church and one of the grandest Georgian water gardens ever created make this an extraordinary landscape.
