This abbey was founded by Cistercian monks in 1131 AD and is amazingly complete. This location also inspired William Wordsworth, who wrote a poem using it as inspiration which we read on the bus before arriving.
You can find the full William Wordsworth poem here.
Tintagel, England
Tintagel, one of the supposed birthplaces of King Arthur. The old castle ruins sit on top of these amazing cliffs over the ocean. I loved climbing around and the sense of isolation that the place held.

It was at Tintagel that I found my belief in God.
For once, I am not being facetious.
If only I could go back w/ my favorite harlot...sigh.
I totally agree that that place was incredibly spiritual for me as well.
Oh, I'm dying to go to the UK right now...Jer and I talk about wanting to live there every single day....now I've got the travel bug!
