THE WYE VALLEY

A few pictures from our recent trip. 


1/ Showing the Wharf where boats coming from the Bristol Channel unloaded their cargo. It was reloaded onto smaller boats which took it further upstream.  



2/ The village of Underhill where we stayed, showing cottages and the road bridge  crossing the river from where the picture of the wharf was taken.



3/ Tintern Abbey built by Cistercian distinctively white-robed monks in the 12th century.




4/ Another view of the Abbey. Same day, same time of day, but quite a different feel. More romantic; more dramatic.





5/  This is one of the cottages in the Village looking at least as old as the Abbey.
