Spain. Barcelona. The church of the Sagrada Familia, designed by the great architect Antoni Gaudi in 1883, is regarded as one of the great architectural masterpieces of the world. This was his last project, unfinished as he was killed by a tram in 1926. It is still being completed today.

The Old Folly Hunmanby, Nr Filey, N. Yorks., UK / Nikon D60 / Originally built in 1825 as a ruin, this unique Grade II listed building has been sympathetically transformed into two lovely, detached gatehouses yet retaining all the visual appearances of a ruin. Built in stone from Filey Brigg, The Follies are set in 1½ acres of natural and unspoilt grounds and visitors are welcome to wander through them, where there is an abundance of wildlife including, rabbits, owls and squirrels.Centrally located for exploring the North Yorkshire Coast, North Yorkshire moors and wolds, the historic town of Filey is only 3 miles distant, with its wide sandy beach and all the attractions of a popular seaside resort.

Rievaulx Abbey in North Yorkshire is one of the most complete and impressive abbeys in Britain. The majestic, almost regal, appearance of Rievaulx Abbey looming from the depths of a narrow river valley symbolises the power and importance of monasticism in medieval England. This enormous Cistercian house, numbering some 150 monks and 500 lay brethren at one time, was the nucleus from which several other northern abbeys were colonised. Although the early 13th century church – reputed to have been one of the finest monastic churches in the North – remains substantially intact, less than half of the outbuildings, recorded at the time of the suppression in 1538, are still in existence. Rarely did the Cistercians break with convention when planning the layout of a monastery, but at Rievaulx Abbey the church had to be built more on a north-south axis (as opposed to the traditional east-west) because of severely sloping ground levels. The model for the first church built c1135 to 1145 was probably based on the Mother House at Clairvaulx in France, and certainly reflected the functional austerity of that time. However, following partial demolition of the ‘eastern end’, the community undertook a rebuilding programme in a far more elaborate style with clustered columns, heavily moulded arches and elegant lancet windows. / Across the 15 acre site, there are many outbuildings standing to a good height and virtually the whole range can be identified at foundation level. Another of the impressive architectural treasures still very much in evidence, apart from the abbey church, is the monks’ refectory. This beautiful dining hall, some 124ft (37.5m) long and an amazing 50ft (15.2m) high, was supported by an undercroft built into the terraced ground. A good deal of the arcading, and several of the gracefully, arched lancet windows of the refectory survive to give a clear indication of the former glory of this communal hall. / Rievaulx Abbey is now in the hands of English Heritage, but running along the eastern edge of the site is Rievaulx Terrace, owned by the National Trust. This elevated, grassy ridge provides an excellent vantage point for viewing and understanding the monastic complex.
