Plas Newydd Historic House and Gardens

Covid-19 Update ~ Plas Newydd Tearooms will be open 10AM - 4PM daily. The Gardens and Grounds are open daily and free to explore! Plas Newydd Historic House will unfortunately be closed until further notice. Home of the ‘Ladies of Llangollen’ Miss Sarah Ponsonby and Lady Eleanor Butler captured the imagination of Regency society when they ran away and set up home together in Wales. Visit their extraordinary gothicised home and hear of the stream of famous visitors they received. Learn how they won the hearts of local people and turned a simple cottage into a fantasy of oak carvings and stained glass. Stroll through the gardens they developed and try homemade cakes in the tea rooms.

Valle Crucis Abbey

A visit to this fascinating site evokes the lives of the Cistercian monks Cistercian monks loved all things austere. Solitude ruled absolute. Finding this remote yet magical location must have at least raised a smile or two amongst the serious-minded bretheren. Building work got underway in 1201. Seven centuries later and the abbey is one of the best preserved in Wales. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Reviewed By Scene-set - Wokingham, United Kingdom

.......but we persevered and pleased that we did! Slightly disconcerting approach, as if you are visiting the adjacent caravan park. Once at the Abbey entrance there are parking spaces reserved for visitors (but very few) Although a ‘ruin’ as such, parts are amazingly well preserved and the grounds immaculately maintained. If not for the weather on the day of our visit I would happily have spent a lot longer taking in its history and the solitude that still prevails! (Be aware when exiting onto the main road - traffic seems to travel quite fast and visibility in either direction is not brilliant)
