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)

ReplyDeleteamazing 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.
ReplyDeleteimpressive archways!
ReplyDeleteHow 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...
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteJudy, I loved all your pictures. I absolutely love seeing old ruins and old buildings. Blessings, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteThe rich history and amazing architecture that can be found all over Europe highlights just how "young" the USA is. You have wonderful photographs, Judy.
ReplyDeleteI cannot even imagine walking through such an old building as that. It must border on feeling magical!
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed these photos.
ReplyDeleteThose archways are rally incredible. Have a lovely weekend, and thanks for sharing these.
ReplyDeleteIt'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..
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures of our largest monastic ruin, Judy!

ReplyDeleteWow! 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!

ReplyDeleteWhat 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.
