Accessibility:

There are two parking spaces available a few metres away from the entrance to the abbey and the church, but none are specified as disability spaces. There are no car parks in Talley itself, but you can park on the road with care. The main access to the abbey ruins is via wooden steps; however, there is a separate entrance via St Michael and All Angels church cemetery, next door. The site is laid to grass and gravel and can be uneven in places. There are toilets, with disability facilities, just a short walk away.

Brief Description:

Talley Abbey was founded in the 12^th century by Rhys ap Gruffydd (the lord Rhys) for the Premonstratensian order. The abbey was dissolved in 1536 due to a lack of income. You can see the remains of parts of the abbey church, including parts of the tower and a few remnants of the cloister.

St Michael and All Angels church was built in 1773, partly from the ruins of the abbey. It is still in use today as a Christian place of worship.
