Strata Florida Abbey

Strata Florida Abbey

Abbey Road, Pontrhydfendigaid, Dyfed, SY25 6ES

Strata Florida, located at the heart of Wales, is steeped in history, from Bronze Age burial cairns in the Glasffrwd valley to an Iron Age hillfort at Pen-y-Bannau and Roman roads cutting through the Teifi valley. With its fantastic dark skies and minimal light pollution, it is also an exceptional location for stargazing and astrophotography workshops.


Strata Florida Abbey is a private location and is only accessible out of normal hours for stargazing by prior arrangement or when public events are scheduled.
