About This Event

The garden and abbey tour at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden in Harrogate requires admission.

While it's often thought that the abbey ruin is the reason for our World Heritage Site status, it's actually the water garden at Studley Royal. Join a guided tour to find out more about this artificially manipulated 'feat of human creative genius' designed by the Aislabie's in the 1700s. Start to see the abbey as the Georgians did; incorporated into the dramatic designed landscape and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The garden and abbey tour lasts 1 hour 30 minutes and will be run twice a day, seven days a week, until Sunday 1 November.

Unfortunately, sometimes our volunteer guides aren't available and we have to cancel tours. Please ask the admission staff on your arrival for the tour schedule on that day.
