Full Description: Fountains Abbey with Studley Royal Water Garden, four miles west of Ripon in North Yorkshire, is of outstanding historic and aesthetic importance.

Attracting approximately 300,000 visitors a year, Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal is the National Trust's most visited pay-for-entry property. Acquired by the Trust from North Yorkshire County Council in 1983, it was declared a World Heritage site in 1987.

An important aspect of the Estate's work is on-going conservation. This includes the upkeep and maintenance not only of the Estate's spectacular architecture, but its natural features of flora, fauna and wildlife.

Forming and nurturing links with children and adults is an important aspect of the Trust's programme of work. Fountains Abbey is always keen to support schools' education programmes and promote activities which engage enquiring minds of all ages!
