Another visit to Fountain's Abbey..

i have been to fountains abbey ~ at the recommendation of 12 year old son who went on a school visit!! it is lovely but i dont think we saw the lake ~ which is beautiful!

Enjoyed the walk bloomer. Looks very tranquil.

I don't think I've ever been here....I must go next time I head south, it is beautiful. Thank you for showing us bloomer. I bet you had a wonderful time at the flower show!

Oh now I could never get bored with a place like that,please show more :o) it's beautiful and so interesting. I love the 1st pic very much !

Its beautiful Sandra and such lovely pictures too that lake is gorgeous, and the bluebells,violiet campion and primroses gorgeous lovely buildings, wonder was this building the one used in the film The Secret Garden, as I know that was taken in Yorkshire, you ll have to do a tour of the Abbey's up there and blog especiall Bolton Hywel will love that one too its a great place been there many of time. Thank you for sharing beautiful.

thanks Sticki,it is a vast area,so I'm not surprised you didn't see it,as it is right at the far end by Studley royal deer park.You need at least 2 full days to see everything,and in our case,we will go again for the 3rd time,to go round the museum.Good job we joined the National Trust last year,so at least we can get in free now.It's quite expensive for a daily ticket,so recouped our money already

thanks,It is a tranquil place,Sue,and never seems crowded..so much space..
Karen,you would love it,as its just your cup of tea ,..and you can get a good one at either of the 2 cafe's ! Lol.
Glad you enjoyed it,thank you..
Thanks,I knew you would like it Hywel,and I love those buildings in the 1st pic too.I looked for info about them,but think they must be used for storage and office related work for the Abbey now,as only a 'Private' notice on them..We are so lucky to live in such a beautiful historical country..:o)
Thank you 6d,I loved the wild flowers as well.Idon't know if it was used in that programme or not,as we have so many Abbeys,stately homes and gardens in Yorkshire.I know Castle Howard was used for Brideshead revisited..but could be any of them....

i can get into national trust free too ~ the company i work for has corporate membership ~ its a lovely benefit.
think i had better plan for a return visit!

Next time Sandra I watch the film I ll try and see the credits I have the dvd of it and the video lol will let you know

Beautiful trip Bloomer, I love that Temple, we saw one in Ireland a little like that, so peaceful. Thank you.

We have a NT membership so I will put this lovely place on our list as well. I love the stone buildings of Yorkshire and as you say there are so many stately homes, church ruins etc. to view....it would take days and days!

It does look like lovely grounds...and the weather to match. A feast for the eyes :)

You lucky lady all this and the flower show. Adding to my favourites to look back on as we intend to have a few days break shortly and this looks ideal.
Thanks Bloomer.

one of our favourite places Bloomer, thanks for putting them on, absolutely fantastic,

what a great place :):) Lovely pictures - and the good weather added to the day out - glad it was nice for you :):):)

looks a great place....

I can understand why you love it so much Sandra, it looks beautiful with old stone buildings and all the history surrounding it, it looks a very interesting place to visit. The walk along the the lakeside looks so peaceful and relaxing with the water and the wildflowers are an added bonus. The future visit to the museum looks as though it will be a treat too. Thanks for the visit Sandra;0)

You didn't sit still much during your three days away, Sandra! I'm catching up on blogs, again, and am so pleased I found this one as it looks such a great place for a visit when we eventually get North of Watford ... lol!

Welcome to my world ... lol! Will send you a message tomorrow as my brain's tired tonight! : o )

Its a fantastic place Bloomer, been there 4 times and the first was 30 years ago. Wonderful undercroft. This last time we went to the Mill and it was fascinating. As you say, so much to see. Showed you how they did the stonework. Clever blokes these monks!!
Thanks for sharing and bringing back lovely memories and whoever visits should go to Newby Hall too (not too far away). Fantastic gardens and a lovely house.

Lovely place, seems very quiet and peaceful!

It is Helenium,only the sound of the birds..and me,who talks a lot! well,commenting on all the lovely views..lots of oohs and aahs.:o)

My kind of day out so thankyou for sharing, I am always pleased to see these wonderful places and am fascinated by their history, it looks well kept as well. Beautiful photo`s Bloomer, can see why you love it......

Thank you,Lincslass,these are the kind of places I love to visit,as I think the history is wonderful,too..We met a couple of the gardeners,and you can tell how proud they are,of the work they do,with love..

That talking is allowed Bloomer, it's called "appreciation"!

That sounds much a much better description,than 'rabbiting on',Helenium..Lol.
