Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.

So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

Valle Crucis Abbey

Valle Crucis Abbey is a Cistercian abbey located in Denbighshire, Wales. 
Parking is available just outside the ticket office, mostly on one level but there are some steps
Dogs Welcome on Leads
Toilets near the ticket office
This site is a mostly level with gravel pathways, there are a lot of inside bits so good if raining but also steps that lead to a internal second level.
Best Bit - The reflection in the fish pond of the Abbey.
The staff here are exceptionally friendly be ready for a warm welcome!
This is a pretty abbey and very relaxing site, plenty of places to sit including benches, I took trillions of photos and did many sketches

Note: The abbey is right next to a camping site, might be nice to camp and visit this site.
