Tintern Abbey was founded in 1131 and sits on the Welsh bank of the River Wye, the (current) border of England and Wales. Used by the Cistercian monks until 1536 and Henry VIII's Dissolution of the Monasteries. The monastery fell into ruin and we are lucky that so much still stands today. Amusing aside - it also features in Iron Maiden's "Can I play with madness" video
