The Abbey of Strata Florida. Built in 1164 on the banks of the River Teifi (and moved to its current site in 1184). Known as the "Vale of Flowers," it is the burial place of many medieval Welsh princes @cestyll info.

A joyful and well-attended Harvest Festival today, where Rev Lizzy blessed the contributions for local food banks. Thank you to Fr Tony de-Roy Jones for the Harvest loaf and huge thanks to Anthony, Catherine and local farmers who decorated the church so beautifully.
