A splendid mansion and gardens built for nobility.

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

This is a 6,000 year old Court Tomb, and you can get close to it without swarming tourists or ropes to keep you out. It's a terrific example of a court tomb, and you can walk around the entire ruin getting various nice vantage points. We came just after a rain, and it was still dry enough that we didn't have any problem with puddles or mud. The grass is cut, so it's easy to walk around. Plenty of free parking just down below (not many steps up). We were surprised when we came back to the parking lot that some locals use this lot for picking up kids after school. Not a problem, though.
