I hope you all enjoy this set of caches. I would like to thank the National Trust for granting me permission for the placments. A couple of which have been in place since July 2008..!! (have even had to replace a damp blank log book) ;*) To use the National Trusts own words. "Welcome to Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, near Ripon, North Yorkshire. Yorkshire’s first World Heritage Site is a huge estate of beauty, contrasts and surprises including the largest abbey ruins in the country and one of England’s most spectacular Georgian water gardens. The perfect place to escape from it all and enjoy a great, full day out, there’s so much to see and do at Fountains. Set your own pace to explore over 800 acres of naturally beautiful countryside, with ten historic buildings to discover spanning 800 years of history and acre after acre of open space. Situated in an area of outstanding natural beauty in the valley of the river Skell, on the doorstep of the Yorkshire Dales, only 30 miles from the historic city of York and 9 miles from the A1. Relax, play, learn, wander, watch or join in, whatever kind of day you choose it will be unforgettable."
