St. Dogmaels Abbey

The 12th century ruined abbey is nestled next to the Teifi estuary in the authentic coastal village of St Dogmaels, only a 5 minute drive from Cardigan town and the beautiful sandy beach at Poppit Sands. Free entry to the ruined abbey is available all year and the site has an excellent cafe, museum and shop in their eco Coach House (next to the Abbey and the the working watermill Y Felin) The museum contains some of the earliest Christian stones made from bluestone (the same stone found at Stonehendge) and a collection of medieval carved stones that once adourned the abbey. The child friendly centre has a computer reconstruction and virtual and audio tours of the abbey are available. There is a weekely Tuesday Farmers market at the abbey and annual outdoor Shakespeare plays on the first week of August and an annual Medieval Fair on the August Bank holiday. Parking is available next to the Abbey and a short 4 minute walk away in the centre of the village.

We visited the Abbey Ruins while staying locally as we are members of CADW. The ruins are quite extensive and allow the visitor to get a real feel of how the place might have looked when it was in use. It’s a very calm space and very peaceful.
