While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.

Carl Gustav Carus - Tintern Abbey

The beautiful Tintern Abbey in the southeast corner of Wales. It was founded by the Cistercians in 1131. The monks did well for themselves, and in the mid-13th century started building an impressive Gothic church. 

The abbey survived to 1536, when it and other monasteries were taken over by King Henry VIII’s government. Over the following centuries it gradually fell into ruin, but it is now preserved by Cadw. 

You can walk around the remains of the abbey, which are still amazing, although some spots are blocked off because of the danger of falling stones. Besides the church, there is a lot to explore around the abbey’s grounds. I like that the monks even had a warming house!

ABATY TYNDYRN

{Feb 2nd}

It's nice when other people think you're photogenic enough to take photos of you without asking, so you have proof to show your international associates that you have not morphed into the landscape of rural Wales and no longer have a human form.

Tintern Abbey, Wales

Set deep in a gorge of the River Wye, Tintern Abbey has an enduring presence. Originally constructed with wood in 1131, in Monmouthshire, Wales, this Gothic masterpiece was rebuilt in stone in 1269 and then abandoned in the 16th century after the dissolution of the monasteries when Henry VIII broke with the Catholic Church. Now a national icon, the abbey's mediaeval history was mostly uneventful. As centuries passed, word of the abbey and of its intricate stones and romantic, pastoral setting spread. From painter J.M.W. Turner to poet William Wordsworth, many artists were drawn to the abbey over the years. Interestingly, there's another abbey in County Wexford, Ireland, of the same name. Back in olden days, the one in Wales was often known as 'Tintern Major,' while the one in Ireland was called 'Tintern de Voto.'
