EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the main entrance to Caldey Abbey on Caldey Island, off the southwest coast of mainland Wales. Located near the picturesque town of Tenby in Pembrokeshire, the Abbey is a holy site of significant historical and cultural importance. Established in the late 19th century by a group of Cistercian monks, the Abbey has since become a popular destination for pilgrims and tourists alike. The main entrance, framed by the ancient stone doorway, invites visitors to step into a world of tranquility and spiritual reflection. The intricately carved doorways, adorned with religious symbols and motifs, are a testament to the rich history and devotion of the monastic community. The large wooden doors, worn by the passage of time, add to the sense of history and tradition. The photograph, taken in 1937, offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to the 1930s and the atmospheric charm of the Caldey Abbey during that era. The monochrome tones, combined with the misty weather, create a mystical and otherworldly atmosphere, adding to the allure of this sacred place. Caldey Abbey, with its stunning location, unique history, and spiritual significance, continues to draw visitors from all over the world. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty and allure of this holy site, inviting us to explore its mysteries and discover the peace and serenity that lies within.
