Lindrick With Studley Royal And Fountains
The southern half of the civil parish comprises most of Studley Royal Park, an estate which since 1767 has included the ruins and estate of Fountains Abbey. The estate is now the property of the National Trust and is open to the public. The northern half of the parish includes the farming settlements of High Lindrick and Low Lindrick.
Lindrick and Studley Royal were historically extra-parochial areas in Claro Wapentake in the West Riding of Yorkshire. They became a civil parish in 1858. In 1974 the parish was transferred to the new county of North Yorkshire, and was in the Borough of Harrogate from 1974 to 2023.
The parish now shares a grouped parish council with the civil parishes of Studley Roger and Aldfield, known as Fountains Abbey Parish Council.
