The last two fields before the church, are crossed diagonally (from Tintin). Komoot seemed to suggest walking between two of the farmer’s buildings, but the path actually starts to the just North of the first building.

The ruins of St Mary’s Church can easily be reached on foot from Tintern Abbey (approximately 20 minutes). Just walk up to the A466, cross the road and proceed up the lane where the post box is located in a wall until you reach a footpath beside a bungalow. Take the footpath and after a steep but short stroll you will reach the ruins from which you can enjoy spectacular views of Tintern Village and the River Wye. You can return either on the same route or you can bear to the left on your descent at a fork in the path and this will take you down Chapel Lane to the Abbey Mill and the village beyond.
