Basingwerk Abbey
Nice place to have a walk or picnic, a site with a long history. Whilst the abbey is ruined there is plenty intact, enough to get a good idea of the layout of the building when it was in use. there are a few plaques around the site with some of the history details on overall a good free to visit site

Great place for walks, there are lovely wooded areas that are well maintained, lots of historical buildings to learn about at Greenfield Valley Heritage Park not just the abbey. For dog walkers, you can go off lead (responsibly) and there is also plenty of dog bins provided. Shop and cafe facilities available.

A free to view set of ruins near Hollywell. There is a free car park and it is a short walk away and it is also dog friendly. Also close by are Greenfield mill ruins and St Winifred's well.

Ancient abbey site dating to 1132. Ruins but it gives you a good idea of the size and layout of the abbey. Free to visit.

Fab piece of history, a short walk from the car park and you’re free to explore this abbey

We didn't pay to enter the family museum, seen simular before. Disappointed with Greenfield Valley - hardly any information boards and industrial sites all overgrown. Could be a real pleasure/resource/tourist attraction if you could see the buildings and know what they were, how they were used, the people who worked there. but sadly like much of the area suffering from neglect. Just a little maintenace would go a long way.

Lovely ruins, seem in good order, and nice to walk around if you're interested in medieval history and buildings. Free to access. Not well signposted, I only knew about it through the Cadw website and didn't see signs on the road I came by, but it is only small. There is a visitor centre for the area and cafe nearby, though I didn't use them myself.
