Valle Crucis Abbey, Llangollen - Tel: 01978
860326.The evocative ruins of Valle Crucis lie in green fields
beneath Llangollen's steep sided mountains. The abbey was founded
in a remote location particularly suitable for the Cistercian
order. Their Abbey, founded in the 13th century and added to

against the ravages of time, history and neglect. Many original
features remain, including the glorious west front complete with
an elaborate, richly carved doorway and beautiful rose window.
