A partly ruined former Augustinian priory in the picturesque Vale of Ewyas. Get a drink from the attached hotel’s bar, stretch out amongst the ruins, and relax to the sounds of sheep. A beautiful setting for a break from walking, or a perfect start and endpoint for a day of exploring. Keep an eye out for swallows nesting in the church too.

We also found a pretty walk from this starting point.

To visit, park in the abbey car park (51°56’39.9″N 3°02’08.4″W) – when full, an overflow car park is opened in the field just before the abbey.
