Join Anna and Alf in this video as they visit VALLE CRUCIS ABBEY in LLANGOLLEN, NORTH WALES UK which is a TRULY WELSH MAJESTIC MEDIEVAL ABBEY as Anna teaches about its history from when it was FOUNDED IN 1201 by PRINCE MADOG AP GRUFFYDD ( the PRINCE OF POWYS ) and THE WHITE MONKS OF THE CISTERCIAN ORDER, until it was CLOSED DOWN IN 1537 DURING KING HENRY V111 OF ENGLANDs DISSOLUTION OF THE MONASTERIES and its connection to ELISEGS PILLAR, LINK TO OUR VIDEO OF ELISEGS PILLAR - • ELISEGS PILLAR - Princ...
It was the last of the 14 Cistercian foundations to be built in Wales and has the ONLY SURVIVING MONASTIC FISHPOND IN WALES.
It's Latin name ( Valley of the cross ) refers to the nearby 9th century Pillar of Eliseg / Elisegs Pillar which stands nearby to this ABBEY.
The pillar is some 500 years older than the abbey and as mentioned above if you are interested we have a video of the Pillar ( link above) where Anna teaches about the connection between the two .

We don't have any Welsh people where i live in Vegas so it's a joy to come here and learn about the locations way over there across the pond. I wish i could go into a time machine and live a week in these medieval times and experience the life. It's really interesting. The Valle Crusic Abbey has a fascinating history.

    This is so cool. I LOVE old buildings. It's amazing that any of it is still standing considering its age. So awesome that there is still some there. Great bit of history behind it. Not that I expected any less. No way it could not be full of history at its age. Those windows are so gorgeous! I am in love with the design. How fun that you can go inside and check it all out. Such a shame it fell in disrepair. But still very awesome that there is still a bit of it to explore.
