Wonderfully narrated, thank you so much. And, amazing that he's kept his (important) job for over 3 decades! Much respect.

I visited Fountains Abbey in my early 20s, and it was one of the main reasons, a decade later, that I'm pursuing a degree and career in archaeology. Breath-taking place on the surface, fascinating beneath.

Visited several times. Beautiful place.

Visited the Abbey today. Wow, sooo BEATIFUL. We're lucky with the weather which meant the reflection of light was mesmerising. Thank you for maintaining the whole site and the grounds 🍁🇹🇷

Thank you so much for the video and for the work that you do. I fully support keeping our National Heritage as it is very much worth keeping.

Thankyou Fiona, we appreciate your support.

Can't wait to see what you discover. I live near Furness Abbey. 😀

32 years - you lucky, lucky man! I visited Fountains Abbey for the first time this summer (2003) and words fail to describe it. It is magical, peaceful, reflective, and an utter joy to visit. I see you were there in the throws of winter. I would imagine it is very calming, and again peaceful in the winter months. What a joy you must experience working there - I sure hope you never, ever, become complacent about where you work - many of us could only dream of such a wonderful site to work at. I enjoyed this very much. Thank you. I have often wondered of the nine levels of hell - the evil Henry VIII was sent to - because all the pain and suffering and murder he committed assured him a fast-track entry there.

yes.. please tell us more! not much was said, but it's a wonderful looking place.. hav visited tintern and strata Florida.. want to visit here too 🙂 thankyou for sharing this..

This place is truly magical

Good times , I went here back in 2007 with my then girlfriend , amazing and beautiful place

I highly recommend reading A History of the Protestant Reformation in England and Ireland by William Cobbett.

mmm.. when i saw the length of the video...

this place is my life chabging moment its just amazing so haunted 2

The place where the ending of ‘the final conflict’ was filmed.

I flew over in my Cessna 172 the other day and had no idea what this was. I don't live near it but sort of noticed from 2,400ft and it does look nice. It's in that remote of a location I very nesrly landed the plane in one of the open fields to take a quick look. But it's all farm land and not worth the hassle. If I'm ever this way again in my car I'll pop in and check it out for half hour. Looks stunning 😊
