Julian visited Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal, one of the first UNESCO World Heritage Sites in the UK.
Julian enjoyed a walk around the site with Justin Scully, the General Manager. Julian and Justin discussed the impact that the pandemic has had on the site, and enjoyed hearing the positive news that since reopening, visitor numbers have grown as people have been enjoying the opportunity to visit open air spaces – something that Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal has in abundance.
Julian was taken to Fountains Mill to see the new Joe Cornish exhibition 'Still Time to Wonder'. Joe Cornish is a landscape photographer based in North Yorkshire, and has created a fantastic collection of photographs of both Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal.
Julian also received an update on the Skell Valley project and the future plans for the site.
