An example of Cistercian influence in medieval Wales. Cistercian monks were more than religious men. Worldly Cistercians were also pioneering sheep farmers and some of the first rural entrepreneurs. Their network of abbeys included Cymer, idyllically set at the mouth of the Mawddach Estuary. Founded in 1198, it was one of their lesser settlements, suffering greatly during the conflicts between Wales and England in the 13th century. Nonetheless, substantial remains survive from this simple abbey church. There is also a lovely riverside walk.

The ruins of an 11th century Cistercian Abbey which contributed to the building of Harlech Castle. They were engineers too and developed the water conduits that fed the Abbey. It was damaged in the 13 century and never flourished after that with it finally being abandoned in the dissolution of the monasteries.
