Welsh Abbey's left to see
With so much already seen, it would appear we're running out of things we
want to see. However, we've frequently made the mistake of picking up
brochures as we stop for a roadside break or hearing about someone else's great
adventure and the list grows. The brochures, scraps of paper with names of
places and other "must-see" ideas litter my desk and I thought it
easiest to consolidate them here since we're already sharing so much of our time
here with all of you. These are in no particular order.
| Strata Florida Abbey |
ruins which date back to 1197. the Cistercians at
Strata Florida were loyal supporters of the Welsh Princes.

medieval Wales. |
