The cow is my favorite, but you might guess that, Andrew. Peggy recognized the last postcard from her tour a year ago. –Curt

  The cow is a cheat. It is a from a set of paper napkins that Kim bought in a shop in Leyburn.
  The vaulted ceiling is the undercroft at Fountains Abbey.

I like the archway structure at the bottom. I presume they are some kind of cloister?

The last one reminds me of Ken Follett’s Pillars of the Earth just after the cathedral roof caved in 🙂 when they actually succeeded in building arches – amazing stuff given the time this was built

I’m crazy for sheep so my eyes barely left that lead one. Adorable! The lighting in the archways is beautiful.

  Easily my favourite Jo. I like the long walk and approach with no real clue what is there and then turn a corner and there it is. Magnificent!

Some more great postcards, Andrew! I’m really enjoying these (and, as you may notice, I am getting caught up after not having a chance to read blogs all week!).
