Valle Crucis Abbey

A great place of history to wander around and soak in our heritage and with scenes like this too, how can we be disappointed.

Founded in 1201 by Madog ap Gruffydd Maelor, this was the last Cistercian monastery to be built in Wales.The abbey is believed to have housed up to about sixty brothers, 20 choir monks and 40 lay-members who would have carried out the day-to-day duties including agricultural work.In 1537, Valle Crucis was dissolved,
