TinTintern

Got a few day trips planned this week, first stop Tintern. Tintern's main attraction is the Abbey ruin which we have visited before , so went on a different walk today. We found St Mary's church, a ruined church which had a fire in the 1970s and is completely abandoned now. It was fascinating seeing how nature has completely taken over the ruin with ivy spreading all over the place.
It was lovely to see snowdrops that had popped up on the graves, I loved that a dilapidated place still has flowers growing.

We ambled along the Wye towards the Old Station, and met a friendly dog and chickens on the way.
The old Station is an attraction in the summer months with a mini railway, it's closed for the winter but we could still have a look around. It was really cool to see the old Station buildings which were like a time warp to the 1950s when it closed.

We then walked back through the town and stopped in Stella's bookshop, a shop which specialises in children's literature and had some really cool vintage books. After a bit of nostalgia we headed back.
Now to visit family before the next stop on our road trip!Read more
