    Tips

    September 5, 2024

    Tintern Abbey is such an iconic structure. Even though it is in ruins, it still stands today in magnificant, roofless splendour. Its actual demise occurred during the dissolution of the monasteries in the 16th century, when Henry VIII stripped the abbeys of England and Wales of their architectural dignity as well as their wealth during the English reformation. From this location, you can get the most awesome southern aspect view of the ruins from a safe location on the A466. Here you have a clear vantage point of Tintern, seen clearly against the beautiful wooded backdrop of the Wye Valley, a truly beautiful sight.
