Attractive rotunda temple occupying an elevated position within the woods at Studley Royal Park, visible through the trees from the path near the water gardens. Access to the Temple of Fame is via the path branching off uphill shortly after passing the grotto. The upper area of the woods is well worth exploring fully, as it's also home to the Octagon Tower and Anne Boleyn's Seat with the Surprise View over the water gardens.
Great viewing point to some of the gardens below,
interesting folly with nice views of the gardens
Fountains Abbey is so stunning
Very well looked after grounds and buildings, brilliant views of the area from this little temple
