Tintern Abbey

Tintern Abbey visit

On a cold but dry and sunny day we made the short drive from home to visit Tintern Abbey.
Tintern Abbey is a Cistercian abbey and is one of the great monastic ruins of the English and Welsh border area. It was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain

Dan-Yr-Ogof Battle of Britain Series

The cold weather -6C at night had reduced the water level to allow us a nice easy dive into the Battle of Britain Series. We had a good look around and found enough to come back again.

The mist in the photographs is caused by heat coming of the divers.
