About This Event

A 'Monastic wealth tour' takes place on July 28th at Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal Water Garden in Harrogate. This session details the products and systems of the wealthy estate during the late Middle Ages.

Fountains Abbey was a very wealthy estate in the late Middle Ages, find out more about the products that were made and the systems that were in place here that made this Cistercian Monastery so profitable and self-sufficient.

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.
