Originally, imperfections can also be so beautiful~ Fountains Abbey.

Fountains Abbey is the largest and best-preserved Cistercian monastery ruins in the UK, located not far from York. It is a Grade I listed building in the UK and is managed by the National Trust after being listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally, imperfections can also be so beautiful! This is my admiration for Fountains Abbey. The church was built in the 12th century and was buried in wilderness after being dissolved by order of Henry VIII. 500 years later, the once magnificent monastery is now in ruins, but the towering skeleton of its Gothic architecture remains, as if telling the story of its former grandeur. 📍Address: Fountains, Ripon, North Yorkshire, HG4 3DY 🕰️Opening hours: Daily 10:00~18:00 💰Average cost: Ticket price: Adults £15, Children £7.5
