Talley

This village, with its backdrop of rolling hills, takes its name from Tal-y-llychau, meaning head of the lakes. Between two lakes stands Talley Abbey, founded in the late 12th century by Rhys ap Gryffyd, and the only Welsh outpost of the austere Premonstratensian canons. Among the few remains to have survived, is an immense tower still overshadowing the peaceful abbey lawns. The nearby 18th-century Parish Church of St Michael is something of an oddity: it was built with no aisle and its interior was entirely taken up with box pews.
