This is an amazing place. The ruins are the most intact/preserved that I have seen so far in Ireland. Eugene and Thomas at the guest check in center are friendly, helpful and very knowledgeable. Maps are given out with the highlights pointed out for you. Do not miss this one.

This was my favorite place amongst all the places I visited. If you are a sensitive sort, place your hand upon the walls of the Abbey. Feels like you are touching the energy of those who dwelled here centuries ago.
