Tintern Abbey
Tintern Abbey can be found in Chepstow, Monmouthshire, south Wales. It was founded on May 9, 1131 by Walter de Clare, Lord of Chepstow. It is the first Cistercian foundation in Wales and the second in Britain. The abbey is visited by approximately 70,000 people every year. This particular abbey is found along the River Wye, fairly close to the Welsh border.
William Wordsworth toured the abbey on July 13, 1798 with his sister. The poem alludes to the abbey, but mostly focuses on the nature surrounding it and Wordsworth's reflections on the nature.
Arles
St. Aubert, Emily, and Valancourt part ways in the town of Arles. They spend "one of the most melancholy evenings they had yet passed together" as they mourn their upcoming departure from each other (56).
Fun fact: Vincent Van Gogh lived here for about a decade and created hundreds of paintings in this town.
