Studley Royal Water Garden

Studley Royal Park including the ruins of Fountains Abbey is a designated World Heritage Site in North Yorkshire, England. The site, which has an area of 323 hectares features an 18th-century landscaped garden, some of the largest Cistercian ruins in Europe, ruins of a Jacobean mansion and a Victorian church designed by William Burges. It was developed around the house, destroyed in a fire in 1946, and eventually came to include the ruins of the Cistercian Fountains Abbey.
