Tintern is the name by which the parish and village of Chapel Hill is popularly known.

the text in this section is based on an article in Wikipedia

Tintern (Welsh: Tyndyrn) is a village on the west bank of the River Wye in Monmouthshire, Wales, close to the border with England, about 5 miles (8.0 km) north of Chepstow. It is popular with tourists, in particular for the scenery and the ruined Tintern Abbey.

The modern settlement of Tintern has been formed through the coalescence of two historic villages, previously separate parishes - Tintern Parva, forming the northern end of the village, and Chapel Hill, which forms the southern end. The village is designated as a Conservation Area.

For more information, see the EN Wikipedia article Tintern.

Quoted from an unknown gazetteer:

"[Tintern] is situated on the banks of the river Wye and on the high road from Chepstow to Monmouth, about one mile southwest from Tintern station on the Wye Valley branch of the Great Western railway, 5½ north from Chepstow, 10½ from Monmouth and 146 from London, in the Southern division of the county, upper division of Raglan hundred, petty sessional division, union and county court district of Chepstow, and in the rural deanery of Chepstow, archdeaconry of Monmouth and diocese of Llandaff."
