This exceptionally beautiful abbey was founded in the 12th century and sits on the edge of the River Wye. Its ruins are incredibly impressive and it's beloved by locals, visitors and even great artists alike.

When i first caught sight of this monastery, I was in awe. The still standing center, though in ruins, gives this sight a haunting atmosphere.
