Fountains Abbey is in North Yorkshire, not far from Ripon (National Trust, although you can access a lot of the estate without having to pay!). My OH is doing the photos for a wedding there in a few weeks' time so wanted to have a look, although we've been there lots of times. For anyone nearby, they are opening until 10:00 on Saturdays through October for hog roast and floodlighting- we didn't stay for that but had we known we might have gone a bit later.
