14 Muckross Abbey - Ireland May 2016
Muckross Abbey is one of the major ecclesiastical sites found in the Killarney National Park, County Kerry, Ireland. It was founded in 1448 as a Franciscan friary for the Observantine Franciscans by Donal McCarthy Mor.
It has had a violent history and has been damaged and reconstructed many times. The friars were often subjected to raids by marauding groups and were persecuted by Cromwellian forces under Lord Ludlow.
Today the abbey is largely roofless although, apart from this, is generally quite well preserved. Its most striking feature is a central courtyard, which contains a large yew tree and is surrounded by a vaulted cloister.

In the 17th and 18th centuries, it became the burial place for prominent County Kerry poets O'Donoghue, Ó Rathaille and Ó Súilleabháin.

Ross Errilly Friary (Rossabbey) Headford Co Gawlay
The Ross Errilly Friary (Irish: Mainistir Ros Oirialaigh, often anglicised in 18th & 19th century sources as Rosserelly) is a medieval Franciscan friary located about a mile to the northwest of Headford, County Galway, Ireland. It is a National Monument of Ireland and among the best-preserved medieval monastic sites in the country. Though usually referred to by locals as Ross Abbey, this is not technically correct as the community never had an abbot.
The church and bell tower are to the south of a small but well preserved central cloister and domestic buildings are to the north. Amongst these are a kitchen (equipped with an oven and a water tank for live fish), a bake house, and a refectory or dining area. The dormitories are on the upper levels. One unusual feature is a second courtyard or cloister, built to accommodate the friary's growing population.
Like many other abandoned Christian sites in Ireland, Ross Errilly has continued to be used as a burial ground by area residents. In addition to tombs that date from the friary's active period, many graves dating from the 18th through 20th centuries can be found inside the church walls. In some cases, tombstones comprise the floors of walkways and crawlspaces.
Connemara/Ross Errilly Friary/Kylemore Abbey-Great Day Trip from Galway!
On this great day trip from Galway, we saw scenic Connemara, the well preserved Ross Errilly Friary, and the beautiful Kylemore Abbey and surrounding grounds. However, perhaps the highlight of the video is my sneezing fit at the beginning of the video, and my niece's humorous singing version of Tomorrow from Annie.
Connemara is one of the more scenic areas of Ireland, with its rolling green hills and lakes. The Ross Errilly Friary is a well-preserved medieval Franciscan friary that was founded in the mid-15th century and whose history features the imprisonment and killing of monks. The Kylemore Abbey is a Benedictine monastery founded on the grounds of a castle. There are many legends surrounding the abbey, lake, and giant stone.

The Friary of Irrelagh on Muckross
This Franciscan Friary was founded in the 15th century and is in a remarkable state of preservation. The tower was added after the church was built and is the only Franciscan tower in Ireland which is as wide as the church. The cloister and its associated buildings are complete and an old yew tree stands in the centre. The monks were finally driven out by the Cromwellians in 1652.

Ross Errilly Friary (Founded 1351?)
Achill Historical Society outing to Ross Errilly Friary, Headford Co. Galway. 06.09.2015
Foundation[edit]
Both Luke Wadding and the Four Masters (who refer to Ross Errilly in their Annals as Ros-Oirbhealagh) record that the abbey was founded in 1351, but this date has been called into question by numerous historians. Architectural cues and documentary evidence have given rise to a modern consensus that the friary was founded sometime in the middle of the 15th century, perhaps around 1460.[2] The earliest existing documentary evidence of a religious community at the site appears in the will of a local man that has been dated to either 1468 or 1469.[3][4] In any case, it is clear from the architectural evidence that any religious building that may have been on the site prior to that time was greatly expanded during the 15th century. Around 1473, a delegation of Franciscans from Ross Errilly went to Donegal at the request of the Tyrconnell clan and founded the Donegal Friary, where the Four Masters would later write their famous Annals.

Rosserk Friary Killala Co. Mayo
Rosserk Friary is one of the finest and best preserved of the Franciscan Friaries in Ireland. It was founded by the Joye family circa 1440 for the Friars of the Franciscan Third Order Regular.
(first order, Friars. second order Sisters. third order lay (married) men wishing to live the Franciscian life.)
Rosserk Friary and Moyne Abbey are located close to each other, north of Ballina on the west side of Killala Bay. Both were allegedly burnt by Sir Richard Bingham, Elizabeth I of England's governor of Connacht, in 1590 in reformationist zeal.
Floor plan from 1791
The stone doorway leading to the church still shows fine workmanship and carvings. The church is built in the late Irish Gothic Style and consists of a single-aisle nave, with two chantry chapels in the south transept and a bell-tower suspended over the chancel arch. In the south-east corner of the chancel is a double piscina with a Round Tower carved on one of its pillars, two angels and the instruments of the passion.
The conventual buildings are well-preserved with three vaulted rooms on each side. The dormitory, refectory and kitchen were on the upper floor, where two fireplaces still remain back-to-back.

Muckross Friary
The enclosed cloister walkways are typical of Franciscan architecture in Ireland and are almost fully intact with a dramatic old yew tree in the centre. Yew trees are found in most old cemeteries and monastic sites in Ireland. The church stands at the south side of the cloister.

Ring of Kerry, County Kerry, South-Western Ireland, Ireland, Europe
The Ring of Kerry is a 179-km-long circular tourist route in County Kerry, south-western Ireland. Clockwise from Killarney it follows the N71 to Kenmare, then the N70 around the Iveragh Peninsula to Killorglin -- passing through Sneem, Waterville, Cahersiveen, and Glenbeigh -- before returning to Killarney via the N72. Popular points include Muckross House (near Killarney), Staigue stone fort and Derrynane House, home of Daniel O'Connell. Just south of Killarney, Ross Castle, Lough Leane, and Ladies View (a panoramic viewpoint), all located within Killarney National Park, are major attractions located along the Ring. A more complete list of major attractions along the Ring of Kerry includes: Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Rossbeigh Beach, Cahersiveen Heritage Centre, Derrynane House, Skellig Experience, Staigue Fort, Kenmare Lace, Moll's Gap, Ladies View, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House, The Blue Pool, Ross Castle, Ogham Stones, St Mary's Cathedral, Muckross Abbey, Franciscan Friary, Kellegy Church, O'Connell Memorial Church, Sneem Church and Cemetery, Skellig Michael, Beehive Cells and the Stone Pillars marking an important grave. There is also an established walking path named The Kerry Way, which takes its own route, and a signposted Ring of Kerry cycling path which uses older quieter roads where possible. The Kerry Way roughly follows the scenic driving route of the Ring of Kerry. There are numerous variations to the route taking in St. Finian's Bay and Valentia Island which the official driving ring misses (the official cycling route takes in Valentia Island). As well as some fine beaches, it also offers the Gap of Dunloe, Bog Village, Derrynane House, the Skellig Experience Valentia Island, Molls Gap, Torc Waterfall, Muckross House and Ross Castle. The Ring is a popular day trip and numerous bus companies offer trips during the summer months. As the narrow roads make it difficult for tour coaches to pass, all tour buses run in an anti-clockwise (or counter-clockwise) direction, traveling via Killorglin first. Some recommend that car owners travel in the opposite direction, going first to Kenmare to avoid delays caused by tour buses. Others advise traveling counter-clockwise to avoid having to pass the buses. In 2008 satellite navigation systems were blamed for directing bus drivers in a clockwise direction around the route.

Slane Castle history (Brief)
Slane Castle celebrated its bicentennial year in 1985, an occasion that was marked by the official opening of the Castle to the public.
The Castle as you see it today was reconstructed under the direction of William Burton Conyngham, and his nephew the first Marquess Conyngham, who inherited the Slane Estate form his uncle General Henry Conyngham on his death in 1796. This reconstruction commenced in 1785, and is principally the work of James Gandon, James Wyatt and Francis Johnston. Francis Johnston, one of Irelands most distinguished architects, is responsible for the dramatic gothic gates on the Mill Hill in Slane.
The present head of the Conyngham family is the seventh Marquess Conyngham, and the castle is owned by his eldest son, Henry, the present Earl of Mount Charles, continuing an active association between the Conynghams and Slane Castle dating back to the beginning of the eighteenth century.
Throughout the centuries, Slane Castle has entertained a variety of guests from historical figures including King George IV for whom the Ballroom was originally designed to modern legends like U2, Madonna, the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, AC/DC and The Rolling Stones. Indeed, it has become famed worldwide as the original Rock n Roll castle with a very colourful past its infamous nightclub became a regular haunt for rock stars including Mick Jagger, Bono et al leaving no doubt that if the walls of Slane Castle could talk, they would regale some very interesting tales.

Der Ring of Kerry (irisch Mórchuaird Chiarraí) ist eine 179[1] km lange Panoramaküstenstraße im County Kerry im Südwesten Irlands. Busse dürfen den Ring wegen der Enge der Straßen nur in einer Richtung (gegen den Uhrzeigersinn) der irischen Nationalstraße 70 befahren. Die N70 führt um die Iveragh-Halbinsel entweder küstennah oder direkt die Küste entlang von Kenmare über Waterville nach Killorglin; dann landeinwärts über Killarney und wieder nach Kenmare. Eine Wanderversion dieser Straße stellt der Fernwanderweg Kerry Way dar.
