Caldey Abbey is an abbey of the Trappists[1][2] situated on Caldey Island off the coast of Pembrokeshire, Wales, south of Tenby.
Caldey Island thrived as a centre of Cistercian activity in the Middle Ages.[3][4] The current abbey is modern; it was built in 1910 by Anglican Benedictine monks; they converted to Catholicism and became members of the Trappist Order in 1929.[5] As of 2018, there are about 10 members.[6]
