Tintern Abbey is one of the most famous Abbeys in Britain. It was founded in the 12th Century by Cistercian monks who pledged a life of poverty and isolation (much like living in Tocumwal!). The village of Tintern is quite small, with some pubs and B & B's and the like.
Most of the tourism in the town is Abbey related. We've seen quite a few old buildings and castles since we've been here, but I think Tintern Abbey has my vote as the best old thing I've seen

Hi Guys
So Tintern Abbey is so much like Tocumwal. Must be a top place.
