 St.
Dogmael's Abbey
near
Cardigan
Attractive
hillside remains of a 12th century Benedictine abbey. The site was originally
a rare Tironian house, established in 1115, but even before then it
was used as a "clas", or Celtic church. The monks owned the
Isle of Caldey, which became a popular pilgrimage centre in the Middle
Ages. The nave of the church dates from the 13th century, and the remains
of the crypt and chapter house from the 14th. See
