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.
