Fountains Abbey: Entrance to the Knave

Once inside this old ruin, founded in 1132, one is amazed at the size and complexity of the building and can only gasp at the stunning architecture. Left and right of the columns are long arched aisles.

Best full screen.

It is very beautiful, Herb. I was astonished at some of the abbey ruins in North Yorkshire. They really are significant and heroic in size, age and architecture. Your photos bring me very warm memories of scrambling all over Rievaulx Abbey, in awe. Thanks. Have a fab day…D

Hi Herb
A wonderful and interesting set of pictures from Fountains, which I like very much!
Very nice composition with great colours.
I have a picture from pretty much this same spot, but not posted on here.
I do wonder how the monks at the back managed to pay attention during a boring long sermon!!
Best Wishes, Happy Monday, a nice week ahead, and stay safe!!

Thanks a lot Peter. Always good to see you on here. Yes, I have to agree with you but perhaps the monks were enthralled by the sermons! I know you have visited many places on your bike and so its no surprise that you know Fountains too. A great place for sure.

Have a great week. Herb
