Fountains Abbey

It has been a long held ambition to visit Fountains Abbey in Yorkshire. It is a world heritage site and my history, linked with the similar Furness Abbey gives me a point of reference concerning historic locations such as these.
I was expecting a load of old ruined church buildings, and I was not disabused of that, but what was magical about the place was the way in which the Ancients had selected the location, built great edifices there and made a statement to the world.

The peacefulness and calm of this place is truly divine and extraordinary.

Just think, whilst we go about our business, rushing hither and yon, this magical place just exists, quietly, in peace. Think on.....as they say hereabouts.
