I believe the answer is:

tintern

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'location of abbey' is the definition.
'Tintern' can be an answer for 'abbey' (Tintern Abbey in Monmouthshire, Wales). I am not certain of the 'location of' bit.

'seabird cast in metal?' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'seabird' could be 'ern' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'ern' is present in the answer.
'cast' could be 'tint' (both can mean a colour or appearance) and 'tint' is present in the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'displaying' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tintern that I've seen before include "Old abbey on the Wye" , "old abbey site" , "Ancient ruined abbey near Chepstow" , "Monmouthshire abbey" , "Abbey made famous by Wordsworth" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
