Travelogue XII: A taste of Wales

 We departed the Chalice Well garden and Little St Michael's house, then made our way to Wales.

of course Arthur is important to the tale of Avalon

the many fire places were all non-functional
and still the charm of the 16th Century remains

the Lion's Head well

we collected a last bit to drink on the way

final view of the busy garden where a May pole was still standing
now quiet in the morning sun

the drapers had a shop that faced one of the few open
spaces where parking for the Little St.Michael's house was
Mary found some very nice footwear

unsurprisingly there were no firefighters
to be found at the local station, as I am
sure mid-week daytime is not a practice time

then came a stop at Tintern Abbey

I grabbed many photos as the abbey ruins
had the sort of presentation I have seen my sons
attempt in their WH 40K games

the walls and ruined buildings give an otherworldly appearance

loads of photos were taken to capture many of the details of this fascinating place

only a sample of them are shared here

the abbey has undergone many changes since the 19th Century

after a luncheon we headed out again, still in Wales - to seek out another magical spot (or two)
