Tintern
Tintern Abbey, a ruined 12th-century Cistercian monastery on the banks of the River Wye in Monmouthshire, Wales, is the main draw to this little conservation village near the English border. The surrounding Wye Valley is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with scenic viewpoints and vineyards, and two long-distance walking routes — Offa's Dyke Path and the Wye Valley Walk — pass through the area. A little cluster of cafés and restaurants serves visitors.
