Sligo Abbey

Reviewed By LucyKilkenny

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

Drumcliffe Church

Reviewed By DERtravels - Upland, United States

This was a morning stop on our way down the road. This location is the final resting place of poet. W.B. Yeats. It was a chilly morning but we had plenty enough time to stroll through the graveyard and the church. The little cafes served very nice coffee and pastries and offered more information on Yeats and his wife.

4. Church of St. John the Baptist
