Muckross Abbey, Killarney

This is an amazing old church hidden from the main sites. It does have graves with rich family history. The site faces the lake and feels like a archaeological site. There is a beautiful tree growing in the middle of the building, offering a unique viewpoint. Not as crowded and can ride a bike to this site. Has amazing masonry work, carvings, and writing to explore and photograph. Enjoy

Totally hidden gem here. The abbey sports a giant yew tree in the middle of a central square cloister, and it's awe-inspiring to look at. I feel like it's impossible to not notice the tranquility of the scene. The abbey also has a lot of old nooks and crannies that are great exploring for kids. Our group had a few and we ended up playing a few games of hide and seek there, and it was the most fun I've had playing with kids - there were legitimate hiding places for people of all sizes.

You can walk up and down and in and out of this beautiful Abbey. It's so cool emursing yourself in this kind of history. Definitely make this a stop in Ireland.

Beautiful abbey. It has a stunning yew tree inside which gives the place a unique feeling. You can walk around on the ground floor and use some stairs to go to the top levels. It also has a cementery on the outside. I definitely recommend visiting this abbey.

Not a required visit but if you're in the park, kinda cool to take a step back in time. Eerie feeling exploring the place. Don't touch the tree!
