Llanthony Priory in Monmouthshire, Wales

This post covers my visit to Llanthony Priory at the end of March. The priory was Augustinian, and it has beautiful views over the Brecon Beacons mountains area in Wales. The ruins are free to visit, and the site has a hotel amongst the ruins that was formerly accommodation but converted to a house around 1800. The ruins themselves date from 1100 at the location of a ruined chapel, and the church was built dedicated to John the Baptist.

The most memorable here were the amazing views over the mountains.

The house is located amongst the ruins and functions as a hotel.
