We then headed towards the nearby Tintern Abbey along the Welsh border of the river Wye. It must have been quite the impressive abbey in its heyday. Founded by the Cisternian Order of Monks and destroyed during the "Dissolution" under King Henry the VIII.
We then returned to England and spent the rest of the day making our way to our lodgings for the night in Farnborough. Didn't much to write about this town, it appears to just be a bedroom community for the Greater London area.

The ancient ruins and structures are just amazing. Love looking at this stuff. Would rather experience in person but that's not happening right now.
The U.K. is, as you might imagine, full of castle/church ruins to explore....I think your camera would go into overdrive here.
I never get tired of exploring ruins, and you have put them in an excellent perspective, Dom. Thank you for inspiring me, where to spend the next holidays.
I'd like to explore the UK some day with my bike. Stunning photos with beautiful castles!
You're most welcome SonjaM, if you want castle ruins, the U.K. Is full of them!
A motorcycle is definitely the way to get around in the traffic they have here Randy, so long as riding in rain isn't a problem of course.
