The Cathedral City of Ripon is to be found in the beautiful Yorkshire countryside with the ruins of Fountains Abbey, one of the most historic sites in Europe, lying just outside its boundaries. The weekly market brings a blaze of colour to the market place, which in turn provides the focal point of the city. Standing in the centre is the 18th century obelisk, which is surrounded by a cluster of Georgian and medieval buildings. The distinctive half-timbered Wakeman's House and elegant Town Hall are of particular interest.
