12th century Cistercian abbey near Neath, approx. 6 miles west of Swansea.
As impressive, in its way, as Tintern Abbey despite the ugly industrial surroundings.
The vaulted undercroft is particularly worth the visit (but you have to ask for the key at the gatehouse as you enter).
And if you can get as far as Skewen (just up the hill) stop in at Cresci's Cafe for the best ice cream in South Wales!
Nearest station is Neath. All buses from Neath to Swansea stop in Neath Abbey.
