Tintern Wireworks Bridge

Highlight • Monument

An interesting old railway bridge which I believe took industrial rail across the river to join Chepstow to Monmouth. The surrounding countryside is stunning and in the local area is Tintern Abbey as well as a sculpture park and other interesting buildings.

The River Wye in the Wye Valley National Landscape

View of Tintern Abbey

Highlight • Historical Site

From the other side of the River Wye it is possible to glimpse the magical 12th Century Tintern Abbey through the trees. Tintern is one of the most spectacular monastic ruins in Wales, even 500 years after its dissolution. However, if you want to take a close look, you'll need to cross the river a kilometre or so further north.

Brockweir Village and Old Monks' Hall

Highlight • River

Brockweir is a small, very quaint village located just north of Tintern. It has a surprisingly large number of listed buildings in its midst, including the chapel, bridge, and post office, to name but a few. The piece de resistance, however, is the Monks Hall, often referred to as 'The Malt House'. It's a beautiful old building and is believed to date back to the 14th century. It is one of the oldest houses in the Wye Valley and has been painstakingly renovated.

Brockweir Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

Brockweir Bridge was built in 1906, and is an iron, Grade II listed structure. Recently renovated, it looks much more attractive with a fresh coat of paint, and the views of the River Wye from it, are superb.

The Old Station Tintern Café

Highlight • Cafe

The Old Station, Tintern, nestles beside the River Wye in the heart of the Wye Valley. This idyllic 10-acre site boasts the best of what Monmouthshire has to offer; a varied selection of food from our cafe, family events and live music throughout the summer, a brand new children’s play area and zip wire and a great base for walks along the Wye Valley.It serve really good food and caters for all the family.

St Michael’s Church, Tintern

Highlight • Religious Site

St Michael's church was built on the site of an important roman river crossing. There was a christian church here as early as 65AD, some 350 years before the foundation of nearby Tintern Abbey. A medieval church replaced the original church but this was eventually rebuilt in 1846 to what you can see today. It is such a beautiful church and in a stunning setting.
