I think that Fountains Abbey, the largest monastic ruins in England, was Mr. Cranberry's favorite site.
If we ever get back there, I promise to get new and better photos.

(But no, it's not bigger than Manchester)

Oh I can see why it is his favourite place. Beautiful. Hug b
amazing architecture and i would love it to... i would like a rocking chair beside the cross in number 3 and just sit and rock and stare or maybe a swing or glider... it speaks to me.
impressive archways!
How they built such magnificent buildings without the use of heavy equipment and computers is mind boggling. I could spend a LOT of time at this site on a photo shoot! Just beautiful...
I can see why this was a favorite. Your photos are fabulous. The light was so good. I'll need to get my InSPIREd choice ready here soon. Have a wonderful weekend.
Judy, I loved all your pictures. I absolutely love seeing old ruins and old buildings. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
The rich history and amazing architecture that can be found all over Europe highlights just how "young" the USA is. You have wonderful photographs, Judy.
I cannot even imagine walking through such an old building as that. It must border on feeling magical!
I really enjoyed these photos.
Those archways are rally incredible. Have a lovely weekend, and thanks for sharing these.
It's so beautiful. What a wonderful ruin. Your photos are excellent. I see Keswick (they pronounce it Kessik) on the map to the north and east and we visited there on our way to Scotland after staying in Shrewsbury for a couple of nights. Our community is also called Keswick. :) There is so much that we missed on our travels though, like this abbey..
Great pictures of our largest monastic ruin, Judy!
Just beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
if you go back, i wish to go with you.

What great buildings and beautiful shadows...
I can see why your husband found this a favorite. Such charm with all the stone . . . I find the constructing and design very artistic. I love your photos!
It looks magnificent, somewhere I have never visited and should put on my to do list.
Fountains Abbey is inspiring Judy, I can see why your husband would like to return one day!
There are so many amazing old abbeys and churches all through Europe - they are awe inspiring!.
In NZ where I live the oldest isn't yet 200 years old!
Greet you on Sunday morning.
I am delighted with magnificent architecture and beautiful pictures.
Greetings from Polish.

It is a long time since I visited Fountains - love the gargoyle.
It looks grand today, what must it have looked like years ago.Tom The Backroads Traveller
Awesome shots! That second one certainly is impressive.
Oh, my, what a wonderful place! I am always amazed by the old British places.
Lovely place! I'd like to see it in person some day!
It looks fabulous!
Wow! These are wonderful, Judy! What a blessing that you & the Mr. were able to visit this place! So glad you shared it with us!! Have a blessed week!
Wow! I love these photos! I couldn't imagine better ones, even if you did have a different lens the next time. These are simply gorgeous! I would love to visit there. I have been to England several times. My sister was married there in a beautiful castle. However, I did not travel to some of the fantastic places you have blogged about. I would love to visit again one day and take my daughter. I hope you are well! Have a great week!

Lovely shots - especially the gargoyle!!!
Beautiful!
What a beautiful place to visit, this is the second time I have seen photo's from the abbey and it makes me want to visit more to see the place for real. It's a long way to go for a day visit, I might just go up with my wife and the caravan one day.
VERY BEAUTIFUL...
I love the architecture, great pictures
Inspirational once again ... still haven't been back since I posted the walk that went around the outside of the grounds, but you are trying very hard to get me go lol.
So beautiful. Must visit someday!
