The Island of Caldey Monks

The Island of Caldey Monks, located off the coast of South Wales, is home to a small monastery inhabited by Trappist monks. These monks follow a religious lifestyle dedicated to prayer, work, and community living. The island has a rich history, dating back over a thousand years, and features a peaceful environment with a church, gardens, and processing of hand-made goods like chocolate and lace. Visitors can explore the island’s serene scenery and learn about monastic life, though access is limited to preserve its spiritual and historical significance.
