It is the closest village to Fountains Abbey and became part of the abbey estate in 1356. The population of the parish was estimated at 80 in 2013. The parish now shares a grouped parish council with the civil parishes of Studley Roger and Lindrick with Studley Royal and Fountains, known as Fountains Abbey Parish Council.

St Lawrence's Church, Aldfield

St Lawrence's Church is the parish church of Aldfield, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. The first church on the site was built in the 14th century. It was rebuilt in the 1780s. In 1878, St Mary's, Studley Royal was completed, and superseded St Lawrence as the parish church, but in 1969 St Lawrence was restored to the role. The church was Grade II* listed in 1967. The church is built of gritstone rubble, with a slate roof. It has a three-bay nave, with a bellcote at the west end. There is a north transept with a vestry, and just a small east projection as a sanctuary. The building is in the Gothick style, with pointed windows, many of which have Y-shaped tracery. There is a sundial, which is inscribed "1696 Mr. A. SMITH R.W R.L." Inside, there is a three-decker pulpit, with a sounding board and original candlesticks, box pews throughout, and an organ at the west end.

Cow Myers (wetland)

Cow Myers is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) located in the Nidderdale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB), near Ripon, North Yorkshire, England. The site was designated in 1984 for its fen and alder carr habitat, which supports a diversity of wetland plant life. Of particular interest are the bird's eye primrose (Primula farinosa) which is scarce in Yorkshire, and early marsh orchid. There is no public access to this site, no vehicular access, and no public facilities.

Studley Royal House

Studley Royal House is a historic building at Studley Royal, a World Heritage Site in North Yorkshire, in England. The original Studley Royal house was built in the Tudor period, badly damaged in a fire in 1716, rebuilt and demolished after a second fire in 1946. As part of the 18th-century rebuilding, John Aislabie commissioned John Simpson and Robert Doe to design racing stables. Their designs may have been influenced by Colen Campbell and Roger Morris. The building was constructed between 1728 and 1732. Soon after completion, the north and south ranges were converted into service buildings. After the main house burned down, the whole building was converted into a replacement house, adopting the name "Studley Royal House". Several rooms were decorated with materials salvaged from the old house. The building was grade II* listed in 1967. In 2023, it was offered for sale for £6.25 million, at which time it had eight bedrooms, six reception rooms, and 2.5 acres (1.0 ha) of private grounds. The house is built of stone, with rusticated quoins and a stone slate roof. It consists of four ranges, with one and two storeys, round a square courtyard, with two-storey towers on the corners. The east front has a seven-bay arcade, consisting of round arches with keystones, a moulded cornice, and a parapet with ball finials. The towers have a sash window in an architrave on each floor, the window in the lower floor with a cornice and a pediment, and each tower is surmounted by a pyramidal roof with a copper ball finial and a weathervane. In the centre of the rear range is a cupola with a shallow pointed roof and a ball finial. Inside, one room contains the flooring from the old house's chapel, and several have salvaged fireplaces.

The Obelisk, Studley Royal

The Obelisk is a historic structure at Studley Royal, a World Heritage Site in North Yorkshire, in England. In 1742, William Aislabie had a tall stepped pyramid erected as a memorial to his father, John Aislabie. It lay at the end of a long straight driveway, leading from Ripon. Perhaps in 1805, a timber obelisk was erected nearby, to commemorate British victory in the Battle of Waterloo. This soon fell into decay, and some time after 1812, both the pyramid and obelisk were replaced by a stone obelisk. The obelisk is in stone and is about 15 metres (49 ft) high. It is diagonally set on a base and a corniced pedestal about 3 metres (9.8 ft) high. It has been grade II listed since 1967, and is also a scheduled monument.
