I can not recommend this place highly enough!! i just happened to be passing today it was a gorgeous day corlea is on my doorstep but I never made the time, maybe it took a pandemic to realise the treasures within our own locality..2000 yrs ago or thereabouts our ancestors laid a trackway ...across a bog ..luckily the bog preserved it .. and through a lot of ingenuity we can go and see it 2000 yrs later...how cool and amazing..I want to thank our guide Noel ..its an absolute privilege to be in the company of someone who is so passionate about our history and immense gratitude to all who worked to preserve this treasure...????

You don't have to be a practising catholic to appreciate this gem. The rebuilding of this cathedral has provided a showcase for so many fabulous artists and artisans so if you are near come and enjoy the beautiful stucco celing, stain glass windows, tabernacle, pipe organ to mention but a few. It really is proof that our modern day artists/artisans are every bit as gifted as those of the past when they get an opportunity and the funding to display their talents. Don't miss it.
