Archways

More beautiful architecture in Fountains Abbey. It’s hard to believe that it was built in the 1100’s

[Corinne C]

Beautiful

[Pat Knowles]

Must have looked glorious in its hey day because it’s beautiful now.

[Susan Wakely]

A lovely repetition of arches.

[Carole Sandford]

Great repetition of arches. I know exactly where you were stood!

[Ann Cooke]

The light in those arches is delightful

[Debra]

Wonderful lighting

[Phil Howcroft]

it does amaze one as to how they built and engineered these buildings back in the day

[Walks @ 7]

[Delwyn Barnett]

That sure is amazing! However would they know how to build those arches!

[Kathy A]

Amazing arches!

[haskar]

Works well in b&w.

[Wylie]

lovely alignment. Its a great place for photos. I visited in the 1980s, still remember.

[Peter Dulis]

great POV

[KWind]

Wonderful!

[Fisher Family]

A beautiful symetrical shot!

I can understand why avoiding the crowds in York is a good idea, but for whatever reason people behave quite considerately at the event and taking photos isn't too hard.

@fishers We were at the ice sculpture event last year and decided to do something different this visit. Fountains is one of my favourite places like York so as I haven’t been since 2018 decided there this time.
