The evocative runis of Valle Crucis Lie in green fields beneath Llangollen's steep sided mountains. Many original features remain, includingthe glorious west front complete with an elaborate, richly carved doorway, beautiful rose window and 14th century inscriptions. A visit to this fascinating site evokes the lives of the Cistercian monks - successful sheep farmers and enthusiastic supporters of Welsh culture as well as devout men of religion.
