Year 10 students visit Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal

Posted 17th July 2025

All History students at Dixons McMillan Academy have to visit the World Heritage Site of Fountains Abbey and Studley Royal at some point in their studies ready for their examination on local history. 

We had some fantastic weather this year as they explored the beautiful setting of the almost-900 year old monastery ruins in the morning followed by lunch and a further exploration of the Aislabie Family's impressive water gardens at Studley Royal in the afternoon.
