Today we had a full day trip to South-East Wales. Mike Breakell was our wonderful guide. He shared his knowledge of the land's history, landscape, plants, and animals. It was a pleasure to spend the day with him. Mike kept the day fun with his jolly face and light-hearted humor.

We made several worthy stops along our route. The first of which was Chepstow Castle. Chepstow, on its rock above the swirling waters of the River Wye, stands guard over a strategic crossing point into Wales. In a land of castles, Chepstow can rightly claim special status. Started not long after the Battle of Hastings (1066) by William fitz Osbern, a companion of William the Conqueror, it was a landmark in more ways than one. It was amongst the first of Britain's stone-built strongholds and is an intriguing mixture of different periods.
Abbey Mill was our next stop and is known as the "Wye Valley Centre". It is a complex of shops set around an old mill building in the middle of the stunning setting that is Tintern. This was the original mill site serving Tintern Abbey. We enjoyed a delicious lunch that included hot berry-apple pie. Needless to say, nobody left the least bit hungry and we were all very satisfied.
Situated in a wooded valley of the River Wye, Tintern Abbey inspired Wordsworth's famous "Lines," and a poem by a lesser known contemporary, Edmund Gardner. The abbey was founded in the twelfth century for Cistercian monks by the order of the Norman Lord of Chepstow, Walter de Clare. At the time of the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII in 1536, Tintern was the richest abbey in Wales, something reflected in its majestic archways and elegant windows.
