The quick history is an abbey built in 1131, ruined in the 1500s, celebrated by poets by the 1800s. Background to carparks and ice cream stands in the 2000s. Enjoy!
The abbey, proudly still standing.

The Atmospheric Ruins Of Tintern Abbey
If you go to Tintern Abbey in Wales on a grey day, the place feels like hounds and rippers could be released at any moment. The place compares to great Greek and Roman ruins, skeletons of rocks, hinting at another time, another civilization.
Architectural features of crumbling rock and silhouetted arches.
The interior nave area, lush.
Column caps and abstracted ruins around the grounds.
The empty stained glass window at the end of the church, stone mullion still intact.
