Ruins that tell great stories. Fountains Abbey England

FOUNTAINS ABBEY, ENGLAND    

Ruins that tell great stories   

                    One of the most visited countries by tourists currently within Europe is England since it has a large number of places full of such rich culture and history that always leaves tourists wanting to know more. When we visit specifically Britain, we will find many remains of important buildings that were abandoned and that are currently protected as the heritage of the country, some even have the title of "World Heritage" provided by UNESCO.

 In that way, one of those most important and beautiful humanity's patrimonies that we can get is Fountains Abbey, which can be translated as Fountains Abbey.

                 Fountains Abbey is the abandoned remains of an old abbey in the middle of a forest, the remains are surrounded by a beautiful meadow that creates a landscape that we can never forget. 

This abbey is so old that it is assumed that it was built at the beginning of the 12th century, but sadly it was left to abandonment when King Henry VIII ordered the dissolution of monasteries. 

In this way, with the passage of time, the structure of this building was left as we can find it today, as a structure distributed over a wide space, it is a matter of using our imagination a little and reforming in our mind the image of what it would be like if it had not been abandoned.

             With all this historical background, the abbey has become one of the most spacious in terms of space and one of the best preserved. One of the spaces that is in its entirety is the name of the church, which is one of the largest rooms of the abbey and we can reach it after having passed through other remains.

Walking through these remains of the abbey forces us to imagine how everything would be at that time and the overall vision of the remains with the forest and the meadow in the background is an image that even the postcards could not capture the perfection because it is totally beautiful.

                    For this and many other things that simply cannot be defined and explained in words, it must be a mandatory stop when presented with the opportunity to make some kind of trip to England. 

We cannot miss the opportunity to visit these beautiful abandoned remains of buildings that, like Fountains Abbey, exist within the country. The visit to this abandoned abbey will not last more than 2 or 3 hours, so we cannot have as an excuse the fact that we do not have time. 

I assure you that you will want to visit her again after going for the first time and having a first look.
