Normally I would write about this in the church Explorer but I thought I would do a shorter version for this blog. A few weeks ago I visited a church at Abbey Cwmhir nearby an this old sign pointing directions to places in the village
One finger pointed to the Abbey Ruins
If you follow it you come to this farm follow the directions show there
and after going past the back door of the far you come to this field where you can see the ruined walls of the old abbey
Looking down it the place must have been huge
The pillars that held the roof up must have been imminence
Near the end of the abbey you will find this memorial stone of Llywelyn ap Gruffudd the last native Prince of Wales
There is a small museum you can visit in one of the farm buildings
where you will see information boards and a photo frame
Which commemorates King Charles III visiting when he was Prince of Wales. Makes you feel humbled to know who's footsteps you folowed
Take Care
Amazing place. It must have been quite a fortress in its heyday.
ReplyDeleteInteresting to see words written in Welsh. I've never heard it spoken but I imagine it requires agility! I bet it's a heck of a feat to learn the language.
