Surrounded by the breathtaking countryside of Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and close to the city of Ripon, all iconic in the North of England.

The River Skell winds its way through an 800- acre estate of contrasts and surprises. The abbey ruins tell the story of 400 years of monastic life, years of riches, ruin and revival, brought to a close by the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII. Studley Royal Water Garden, with its sophisticated canals, follies and eye-catchers was the height of fashion in Georgian times, with the designers admirably incorporating the abbey ruins into their grand vision.

Together with a deer park, Cistercian Mill, Victorian Church and an Elizabethan style manor house it’s clear why the estate is one of the most popular National Trust places to visit.

Providing a great visitor experience and looking after this special place is at the heart of what we do, and we’re passionate about getting the details right. Whether you’re giving our visitors a warm welcome, caring for our buildings or collections or improving conditions for wildlife, every contribution ensures that nature, beauty and history continues to thrive here.
