About This Event

The Mill tour will run on selected dates at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden in Harrogate. Admission is required. The tour will explore the history of Fountains Mill, the oldest building on the estate.

Fountains Mill is the oldest building on the estate. Built by the Cistercians in the 12th century, the building has been adapted and modified over many years. Find out more about this building on a free guided tour.

Meet at Porter's Lodge at 2.30pm for an approximately 1 hour long tour.

If you’re interested in the history of the estate, join us on a daily tour of the garden and abbey. Or pop into Porter’s Lodge to see the free exhibition.

This tour is free but standard admission charges apply.

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.
