Cistercian Nuns, Holy Cross Abbey, Whitland, Wales 2.83

We are Community of Cistercian Nuns founded in Stapehill Dorset, in 1802. In 1991 the community moved to Whitland, West Wales across the valley from the old Cistercian Abbey founded by monks of Clairvaux in 1151.

The community has a thriving altar bread industry and market garden, and has been working in partnership with the Forestry Commission Wales to extended existing meadow and woodland.

Holy Cross Abbey has a small guest house offering accommodation for retreatants and those wishing for a quiet day. All are welcome to join the community for Mass and Divine Office.
