About Us
How We Got Started
A group of volunteers have come together to help preserve and promote the history of the Abbey church site. We are working with Canolfan Hywel Dda in Whitland. Our aim is to raise the profile and help more people discover this magnificent historic site that was almost lost to us, whilst preserving its future.
We are building up ideas that we hope to take forward, some of which you can see and comment upon at the upcoming Open Doors days. Connections have already been made with Dyfed Archaeological Trust, Cadw, Strata Florida, Cwmhir Abbey / Cwmhir Abbey History, Holy Cross Abbey and the Hywel Dda Centre.

Holy Cross Abbey
Holy Cross Abbey is set on the side of a hill overlooking a broad valley with the Preseli Hills as a backdrop beyond. It is a place of peace and great natural beauty and provides a perfect environment for a monastic life of prayer and praise: a place of rest and refreshment for those who visit us.
National Churches Trust
The National Churches Trust’s work is dedicated to supporting places of worship of historic, architectural and community value used by Christian denominations throughout the UK. Their aims are to maintain the UK’s heritage of church buildings and to enhance their ability to serve local communities.
Explore Churches Wales
This project aims to attract UK and international visitors to experience the wonderful sacred heritage of Wales, particularly those along and close to The Wales Way. They enable visitors to book travel to Welsh churches, chapels and cathedrals and then explore their wider natural, built and community heritage.
