5.0/5 (2 ratings)Discover the perfect complement to the abbey, a once wild and wooded valley transformed into one of England’s most spectacular Georgian water gardens.
Studley Royal Water Garden was the breathtaking vision of John Aislabie and his son William.
Initially the garden was planned without reference to the abbey, but the final layout included a spectacular view of the great Cistercian house as the culmination of a visitor's tour.

We visited in July 2008: just amazing! We had an excellent volunteer tour guide who walked us all around and gave an excellent history of the family/house/abbey. Don't miss the perfect little chapel. The grounds are huge: give yourself a whole day to explore everything! A great spot for a picnic.
