Wales, where the saints came to learn in one of the world's oldest colleges

In 395 AD a college of priests called Cor Tewdws was founded at Llantwit Major.

Some say Cor Tewdws was the earliest school in Britain, and arguably the oldest college in the entire world. After the Romans left Britain in the early 5th century the college was left to defend itself against raiders, and in 446 AD Irish pirates burned the college to the ground.
One story says that St Patrick was kidnapped from Cor Tewdws by the pirates.

After the sack of the College of Theodosius, the site lay barren for 62 years, until it was re-established by St. Illtud c. 508. According to the Book of Llandaff, St. Dubricius commissioned Illtud to re-establish the college.

It was once a seat of learning that was unrivaled anywhere in the western world.

''At its height had more than 2,000 students. Apparently, the place was graced with at least six separate halls and was able to boast around 400 teaching houses and places of accommodation''

'Many well-known Celtic saints are said to have attended the college, ''including Saint Patrick, Saint Paul Aurelian, Saint Gildas, Saint Baglan, Saint Tudwal, the bard Taliesin, Saint Gildas the historian, Saint Samson of Dol, Saint Paulinus de Leon, and Saint David.

people came from all over to study here, many even traveling from places such as France and Brittany on the continent''

Due to its location, the college was sacked on many occasions by Vikings and again by the invading Normans, it was rebuilt in 1111

It also has a nice collection of Celtic  stones that  date from the 9th and 10th centuries
