00:00hi everyone welcome back to episode four of our hidden gem series where we show you places in
00:06and around momasha and the y valley that might not be hidden but still look pretty special
00:11went to tintern abbey we didn't do the full chepstow walk but part of the walk we did we
00:15got to see what was full of wildflowers quiet paths and views just like this
00:20here is the old tunnel you walk through to get to tintern part of the old railway line we're
00:31currently walking through the tunnel and we're literally in complete darkness right now i mean
00:36there's besides a few little lamps along along the outside we're in darkness i mean it's freezing in
00:43here i don't really know what i was expecting but um honestly i'm really excited now to get to the
00:48other side and see what it looks like and we're here now at tintern abbey as you can see in the
00:56background behind me and it still remains as one of wales most iconic historical landmarks it's peaceful
01:03and calm and even without the full hike is 100 worth the visit tintern abbey was founded in 1131
01:09by cistercian monks but it was abandoned after henry the eighth dissolved the monasteries in the 1530s
01:15which is why it is now a ruin and if you still got time chepstow town is just down the road there's
01:20cute cafes little shops there's plenty to do whether you go for a full walk or just a short one this one
01:26is such an easy hidden gem to escape to
01:36you
