East Routes
From Basingwerk, walk up the lovely Vale of Clwyd and over the mountains to Valle Crucis.
The Ceiriog Way and a brief section of the Offa's Dyke Path take you to Strata Marcella and Welshpool. Cut inland to the remote women's house of Llanllugan with its spectacular medieval stained glass. Over the hills to Cwm-hir, burial place of the last Welsh prince of Wales. Through the book town of Hay on Wye and over the mountains to Llanthony (not Cistercian but worth the visit) and Grace Dieu, then down the Wye Valley to Tintern.
