It was only the second Cistercian foundation in Britain, and the first in Wales, and was founded on 9 May 1131 by Walter de Clare, lord of Chepstow. It soon prospered, thanks to endowments of land in Gwent and Gloucestershire, and buildings were added and updated in every century until its dissolution in 1536. However, it was never very large and important, and its history was relatively uneventful. Its position well away from the Welsh heartland meant that, unlike Margam, Neath and Llanthony, it suffered little in the periodic Welsh uprisings of the medieval period.\u201d Take a look at more images of Tintern Abbey!<\/p>\n<div class=\"mceTemp\"><\/div>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7fP46VvBuUI\" width=\"533\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>What do you think about these mysterious and beautiful places?
