We are so lucky to be blessed with some beautiful rolling hills in Teesdale. I couldn’t resist stopping to take this shot last night, just a few miles from Bonny Cottage.

We still have availability for the first half of the Easter holidays if your schools are off from Friday 27th March. You can book here or DM us for the best rates

A stunning view of Fountains Abbey from the air by Northern Perspectives

Fountains Abbey does not need much help from above, but this angle really shows the scale of it. You can see the long nave, the surviving tower, the broken choir at the front of the frame, and all that open Yorkshire countryside wrapped around it.

The abbey was founded in 1132 and grew into one of the richest Cistercian monasteries in England before the Dissolution brought that to an end in 1539. Even as a ruin, it still feels less like a fragment and more like a whole world left open to the sky.

What makes it so striking is the setting as much as the stonework. The ruins sit neatly in the Skell valley, grand without being showy, and from above you get the full lot in one go - history, landscape, and a place that still knows exactly how to stop you in your tracks.

🌿🏛️ Exploring Fountains Abbey & Studley Royal 🦢🌼

The beautiful Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal is a wonderful day out in the Spring. The UNESCO World Heritage Site blends two worlds - medieval strength with eccentricity. Where history meets nature, there’s something for everyone.

It’s only a 5 minute drive from our apartment and it’s the perfect place to take in some fresh air, enjoy the beautiful water garden and explore the abbey ruin.

⛪️ Discover one of the prettiest towns* in North Yorkshire ⛪️

*Well it’s classed as a City actually!

Tucked away in the heart of North Yorkshire, this little city might be one of England’s smallest… but it’s bursting with charm.

From the breathtaking beauty of Ripon Cathedral — with its incredible history and peaceful atmosphere — to the cobbled market square filled with independent shops and cosy cafés, Ripon feels like stepping into a storybook. 📖☕

Just a short drive away you’ll find the magical ruins of Fountains Abbey and the beautiful water gardens at Studley Royal Park — perfect for slow mornings, family picnics, and long walks that end with muddy boots and happy hearts 🌿🥾

Whether you’re visiting for history, countryside views, or just a wholesome weekend escape… Ripon really does have it all. 💛
