In the 18th century a designed landscape of exceptional beauty was created around the ruins of the Cistercian Fountains Abbey, in Yorkshire. The spectacular ruins of the 12th century abbey and water mill, the Jacobean mansion of Fountains Hall, the Victorian masterpiece St Mary’s Church and one of the most magnificent Georgian water gardens ever created, make this a landscape of outstanding merit .The landscape garden is an outstanding example of the development of the English garden style throughout the 18th century, which influenced the rest of Europe. The garden contains canals, ponds, cascades, lawns and hedges, with elegant garden buildings, gateways and statues.
