These features range from the magnificent ruins of the Cistercian Fountains Abbey to simple cup and ring marked rocks on the Nidderdale moors.  There are over 150 Scheduled Monuments in Harrogate District with more being added continuously as a consequence of English Heritage's 'Mounuments Protection Programme'.

 

Our Ancient Monuments leaflet (217kb) contains information on what they are, who owns them, how they are protected and what grant assistance may be available to help ensure their preservation.  This publication also contains a list of the Ancient Monuments in Harrogate District up to the year 2002.
