    Tips

    Road cycling

    Valle Crucis was truly Welsh from the moment it was founded in 1201 by Prince Madog ap Gruffydd and the β€˜white monks’ of the Cistercian order.

    Its Latin name (Valley of the Cross) refers to the nearby ninth-century Pillar of Eliseg, erected for the glory of a Welsh chieftain. Monks had names like Tudur and Hywel.

    Such home-grown sympathies might well explain the damage suffered during the wars of the English king Edward I and the uprising of Owain GlyndΕ΅r. But it remains one of our best-preserved and most atmospheric medieval abbeys.

    Cycled past it on the road, didn't have time to stop but looked well with a visit, also a campsite near to it. πŸ‘
