It was a wild, wet, windy, Welsh winter's day, when I visited the remains of Cymer Abbey, just north of Dolgellau. I will come back and see if I can get better images in the summer....
The Abbey as seen from the car park.
This was once home to many Cistercian monks.
These ruins are more than 800 years old.
The Abbey was dissolved over 500 years ago.
If you want to know more about the Abbey,

A doorway looking out over what was once a cloister?
An arch in the wall - I must find out what this was.
A set of 3 beautiful arches.

I am rusty on my Cymer Abbey history, but I believe the wall was a temporary one, originally, that was to be knocked down once they could expand!
