The start of your flight takes you over the cityscape of Cardiff, the eighth largest city in the UK, over the Millennium Stadium and Cardiff Castle.

We then follow the coast along the Severn estuary to Chepstow, which was a major strategic point for centuries, and was a key location for the Normans. The Castle, perched on the cliff top above the river Wye, is said to be the oldest surviving stone castle in Britain.

Tracking North we follow the river Wye as it passes through a limestone gorge. It is the fifth longest river and the third best for salmon in Britain. It has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world and was established as a boundary between England and Wales way back in 928.

We then reach the picturesque Tintern Abbey, one of the greatest monastic ruins of Wales founded by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow, on 9 May 1131. Falling into ruin after the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century , the Abbey has been celebrated in poetry and paintings from the 18th century.

The Cistercian monks (or White Monks) who lived at Tintern followed the Rule of St. Benedict, with the basic principles being obedience, poverty, chastity, silence, prayer, and work. Doesn’t sound like much fun does it, but this austere way of life made the Cistercians one of the most successful orders. One of the monks, Henry, formerly a robber, repented of his ways, took the Cistercian habit and was duly appointed second abbot of Tintern. Just goes to show there hope for us all!

Then we retrace our steps back to Cardiff back along the Severn and the far reaching views across the Bristol Channel.
