Open Doors - St Mary's Church and Churchyard, Tintern

The ruin of St Mary's, the daughter church of the Cistercian Tintern Abbey, is a Grade II listed building and scheduled monument. It stands on an ancient sacred site in Tintern that has exceptional views.

From Celtic saints to Cistercians, wealthy ironmasters to bankruptcy and ruin, St Mary’s has a colourful history. Discover old folklore tales, admire the Grade II listed architecture and monuments, and enjoy the tranquillity of the churchyard.

Please note that the ruin itself is currently closed to the public for safety reasons and so you will tour the churchyard and view the ruin from the outside.

Don't miss out on this chance to experience the magic of St Mary's for yourself with an expert guide.
