Tintern Abbey

Founded in 1200 AD by William, the Earl Marshall, this historic complex consists of a nave, chancel, chapel and cloister.

Reviewed By amandatallullah - New Ross, Ireland

As a local .. would really recommend for walking .. good 3km circuit through wooded areas and down by river. Tranquil and beautiful. Gravelled does not muddy paths. Inclines so good to get the heart rate moving. Good parking ... cafe on site and pub within walking distance in Saltmills.
