Great abbey ruins but could do with some more information points so that you can see where you are on the site as it's very difficult to pinpoint from the information there is. This would have been a big place in it's day. The church once you're in there is impressive. It's a good place to visit, it's a shame about the scaffolding but once your in the church read the boards, it all makes sense then One bonus, if you've paid to park you get £5 off at the pub or the gift shop.

This historical site is the ruin of an abbey dated back to 12 century. It takes about 20 minutes from Chepstow bus station to here (Newport bus no. 69). The remains of this abbey, surrounded by scenic hill and forest, is still fascinating. It occupied a large area that would need at least one hour to visit. There is not many visitors when I went there, probably because it's a summer afternoon. It's definitely worth to spend more time at the site to take a close look at its beauty. However, visitors who took a bus need to be mindful about the schedule, especailly on Sunday, when the bus interval can be two hours long.

This is such a beautiful place to visit. It’s right next to the River Wye and a pub. The parking is good. It’s £5 pay and display all day. There are toilets nearby. The ruins are interesting . It’s great for those who love history. There are plenty of informative signs around. There is some scaffolding in place, so unfortunately part of the Abbey is closed off. I would still recommend a visit here. The ruins are impressive, and there’s still a lot to see here. The ruins are much larger than any photos do justice. We went on a walk after, which was lovely, so you can make a full day of it.

Such a beautiful place to visit, I love visiting old castles and houses and this one was just stunning. They were doing some building work so apart of the building was closed off but it was still so beautiful to look round you also get to read a lot about why it was built, what it was used for and why it’s now a ruin. It’s so interesting to see and read.

First time visitor to Tintern Abbey bit probably won't be my last. Stunningly beautiful architecture set in a equally beautiful surrounding. One can completely understand why the monks chose this location. Part of the Cadw system of historic sites. Good paths and handicap friendly. Bring gear for the weather as it is mostly without a roof. Dog friendly on a lead.
