"A striking landscape was created around the ruins of the Cistercian Fountains Abbey and Fountains Hall Castle, in Yorkshire. The 18th-century landscaping, gardens and canal, the 19th-century plantations and vistas, and the neo-Gothic castle of Studley Royal Park, make this an outstanding site."[6]
Studley Roger Does also lack in any local amenities, the village has no school so students head in the local town of Ripon[7] for their education. The parish also lacks a church and pub in the area. Meaning Fountains abbey is the main attraction for visitors to the village.
