More information on Tintern Abbey

If you are staying in South Wales, Tintern Abbey is one place you should definitely visit. Made famous by Wordsworth's poem, the ruins (set in the picturesque Wye Valley) are justifiably famous and draw crowds of visitors every year. Founded in 1131 by Walter de Clare as a Cistercian house and rebuilt later in the 13th century, the abbey was the richest in Wales by the time of the dissolution of the monasteries under Henry VIII. The majestic arches of doorways and huge windows never fail to impress. An exhibition and audio tour brings the history of the area to life. There's also a small shop which carries a range of gifts and publications. The abbey is open all year except Christmas Day and New Year's Day. Admission: for adults is £2.40, and for children £1.90
