Neath Abbey
Recommended by
Overview
The ruins of Neath Abbey, founded around 1130 as a Cistercian abbey and gatehouse, are quite substantial and pretty impressive. Heavy rainfall in recent years has damaged much of the abbey’s stonework and repairs are currently under way, restricting access in certain parts. Call or check the website for more details before visiting. Photo credit: © Crown copyright (2015) Cadw
