Tintern Abbey

My Church Choir sang an acapella concert here that was fabulous!

I love Tintern Abbey

After a 3 hours walk through the Wye Valley, from Chepstow to Tintern, I was finally rewarded with my first view of this world famous Abbey. I admit, when I first saw it I was not overly impressed. From the outside it looks somehow smaller than from the inside. Once I entered the mainbody of what was the church, it was absolutely breathtaking. I absolutely understand, why these ruins inspired some of the greates artists….

Painting of Tintern Abbey by Samuel Coleman (1832-1920). The painting is aptly called “Tintern Abbey with Elegant Figures”.
