Fountains Abbey has been described as the ‘crown
and glory of all that monasticism has left us in England’. There
are 800 years of history here in the 320-hectare (790-acre) estate. This
is a World Heritage Site combining architecture and landscape of outstanding
historical and aesthetic importance.
  
If you see a newly born fawn, keep your distance, and
never ever touch it. Otherwise you will leave your scent on it, and it
will be abandoned by it's mother, and die.
