We are the Midlife Hikers. We open the way for everyone in our local community to enjoy the pleasures of walking.

Come and see Fountains Abbey by Floodlight. Explore the ruins of the abbey as you have never seen them before, grab a burger from the barbecue and enjoy a choir singing in the undercroft. We will aim to catch the guided tour at 6pm and the choral works at 7.30pm.
You will need to book your own tickets from the National Trust website (on sale from 19 September), we recommend booking for an arrival time of 5pm or soon after. Tickets cost £12, or are free for National Trust and English Heritage members (but members will still need to book a ticket in advance).
