Magical Places 1

So I was just thinking about some magical places today (by magical I mean that they intrigued me in some positive way). Here are a couple from my long-ago Study Abroad. My own pics aren't digital and I didn't want to scan them in, so I found these on the internet.

Tintern Abbey, Wales

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.
