Tintern Abbey
Oct. 10th, 2020 12:46 pmWe should be away at the moment, celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary. Instead we are at home, but still intending to celebrate, albeit slightly differently.
Our first day out, using our CADW membership was to Tintern Abbey, we'd been a few years ago (the guidebook is somewhere) but it was the ideal opportunity to have another visit. Tintern Abbey is by the River Wye, and was built by Cistercian monks. It was originally founded in 1131 with wooden buildings, and the stone buildings were begun in 1269.

After this we had an excellent lunch of fish and chips in the Anchor Inn, just across the small road from the Abbey.
