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.

On the edge of the Jewish Quarter (Kazimierz), this small museum houses reconstructed home interiors, an impressive collection of traditional costumes and probably the best display of decorated eggs you'll ever see. No photography allowed, unfortunately.

Chlopskie Jadlo (Peasant Food) is a chain of restaurants serving good traditional food in large portions at very low prices. Three branches in Krakow.

Pod Aniolami (Under The Angels) serves traditional and contemporary Polish food at reasonable prices, in a tasteful restored cellar. The wild boar with cranberries is excellent.
