Interesting old Abbey! I am always amazed at the construction of these old buildings without the power of modern power tools. Cutting the stone and lifting it must have been hard work. I have thoroughly enjoyed your tour of Llangollen,
Your photos agree with me, big time! Unable to be there, I feel the heartbeat through your lens. Thank you for sharing :) I like Smokepole's comment ... "You sure take great pictures ..."
Oh wow... I can *feel* the history in these shots! I love Canada and being Canadian but all of our history seems so FRESH when compared with other countries'!
A very interesting and beautiful old abbey. I'm sure its walls have loads of stories to tell if we only had the ears to listen to them. I also admire the craftsmen of times gone by and what they accomplished with rather simple methods and tools. Finally, I think the Welsh landscape is fantastic and you captured it well.
Just outside of Llangollen is Valle Crucis Abbey.

Beautiful old Abbey, Mac.... Like Lew said, the construction of the old buildings like that is so interesting. Thanks for sharing.

You will never be lost for subjects for you camera with sites like this to visit. My favourite is the third one.
I have not heard of this place before Stewart... I must follow the link and have a read up...
Lovely pics - looks like an interesting place to visit. I must put it on my list.
I really like the lettering.
Was there a welcome in the hillside? Looks like you had a good exploration of the area.
Mac: What a beautiful structure.
The abbey must have quite a history to it.
A beautiful walk back in time, Imac.
I love your header, too.

I think I saw this place on tv. It looks like a great place to take pictures. Yours look wonderful!
these buildings still take my breath away after having lived here for 24 years, and i agree with lew- how did they manage it?
nice ones.. liked the second one especially
Great building and photos :o)
Alas, the only kinds of abbeys I've seen lately are the abbey-normals.
