Founded in May 1131 by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow. It was the first Cistercian foundation in Wales. It fell into ruins after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century. Its remains have been celebrated in poetry and painting from the 18th Century. Tintern itself is a beautiful little town running along side the river with many fine eateries and old pubs. The old Tintern railway station is also just along the road, offering more views with a slice of cake in its lovely tea rooms.
