Studley Royal Park, English garden in Ripon, United Kingdom.
The water garden contains multiple ponds, stone structures, and tree-lined paths spreading across the North Yorkshire landscape near Fountains Abbey.
John Aislabie transformed the grounds in the 18th century, creating a garden design that merged with the existing medieval monastery ruins.
The garden represents both English and French landscaping principles, demonstrating the evolution of European garden design through architectural elements.
The park requires separate entrance fees for the formal gardens and abbey sections, while the deer park and St Mary's Church remain free to visit.
The deer park houses numerous wild animals, including deer herds and pheasants, which roam freely across the expansive grounds.
