Neath Abbey

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Founded in 1130 by Sauvignac monks, who later merged with the Cistercians. Once called "the fairest abbey in all Wales", Neath is especially notable for its collection of earthenware floor tiles (some of which now grace the National Museum of Wales). Look for the tiles depicting the famous single combat between Richard the Lionheart and Saladin.
