The Undercroft, as used in Series 6 and Series 7.

Abbey Undercroft

We didn't always see the tops of quest rooms. This vaulted ceiling was an exception.


The expansiveness of the real-world site for this - the undercroft of the west range at Fountains Abbey, North Yorkshire - led to a variety of angles.

Sometimes a clue object area, the undercroft also played host to blockers, the Brollachan and Lord Fear's giant hand. Other encounters included Motley, Sidriss, Marta and Hordriss, who once summoned a descender.
