We live in Kilkenny, so we have Jerpoint Abbey close by and St Canice's Cathedral in Kilkenny, but if you appreciate your history the cloisters in Sligo Abbey are a must as there are three sections more or less in tact and you get a definite feel for the times when it was built. We would highly recommend an hour here and at only a fiver to get in it was well worth the price
2. Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception
3. Church of St. John the Baptist
4. Achonry Monastery
An unassuming Anglican church now graces the site of what was once a flourishing monastery.
