A missed opportunity by the OPW
Tintern Abbey的点评
点评：I'll start by saying that all the staff were uniformly friendly and eager to help, so this is in no way a comment on them.
However I found this site poorly laid out and confusing for visitors. There is minimal to no signage, very little context offered, and we would have missed quite a bit of the structure if my father hadn't gone up a random staircase to see what was at the top. I assumed it was off limits to the public because there was no signage whatsoever. A large part of the building is not open right now due to restoration work. The part that is closed off features heavily in the one brochure available so that's a bit of a letdown.
In general I think the OPW could put a lot more thought into this site with more interpretation, guided tours (live or audio guides), and clearer signposting both within the ruins and throughout the walks to the walled garden and elsewhere.
Another strange feature was taking cash only for tickets which in this day and age isn't really acceptable.
It would be great if there was a clearly laid out progression from historical information about the original religious order, William Marshall & Isabel De Clare, to the eventual owners who turned it into a house, perhaps some kind of conceptual or virtual demonstration of what it would have looked like other than just old photographs, the Gardens and perhaps the current work being done on site. The way it is now is more random snippets unconnected to the locations where the text has been pasted up. There are also beautiful displays of stone at the very top of this mysterious staircase with absolutely zero context - not even a small plaque to say what they are let alone why it's important.
We enjoyed our walk around the grounds and seeing the garden was pleasant, but especially at a time of the year where nothing is growing yet in the kitchen garden and the ornamental garden is very limited, it would be nice to have some more to engage with.

翻译：首先我要说的是，所有工作人员都非常友好热情，乐于助人，所以这绝非针对他们。
然而，我发现这个遗址的布局很糟糕，令游客感到困惑。几乎没有任何指示牌，提供的背景信息也少得可怜。如果不是我父亲偶然爬上一个楼梯去看看顶端有什么，我们可能就错过了很多建筑细节。我当时以为那里不对公众开放，因为没有任何指示牌。由于正在进行修复工作，建筑的大部分区域目前不对外开放。而唯一一份宣传册却重点介绍了封闭区域，这着实令人失望。
总的来说，我认为公共工程办公室（OPW）应该在这个遗址上多花些心思，增加一些讲解内容，提供导览服务（现场讲解或语音导览），并在遗址内部以及通往围墙花园和其他地方的步道上设置更清晰的指示牌。
另一个奇怪的地方是门票只收现金，这在如今这个时代实在令人难以接受。
如果能以清晰的编排方式，从最初的宗教团体威廉·马歇尔和伊莎贝尔·德·克莱尔的历史信息，到最终将其改建为住宅的业主，再到某种概念或虚拟展示，展现它原本的样貌（而不仅仅是老照片、花园以及目前正在进行的修缮工作），那就太好了。现在的情况是，文字零散地贴在各处，彼此之间缺乏关联。此外，在这条神秘楼梯的顶端，还有一些精美的石雕，却没有任何背景介绍——连个说明牌都没有，更别提它们的意义了。
我们很享受在庄园里的漫步，欣赏花园也令人愉悦。但尤其是在菜园里还没有任何植物生长，观赏花园也十分有限的时候，如果能有更多内容可以参观就更好了。
