Hore Abbey, Cashel

This Abbey can be seen from the grounds of the Rock of Cashel and is within walking distance , probably 10-15mins. If you go by car there is very limited parking We went by car and what made this unique was we had to cross a field of cows to get to the Abbey which for us made it more fun. You enter at your own risk but the cows never bothered us. The Abbey was bigger than we expected and in good shape in many places. As it's in the middle of a field it also makes for some great photo shots . If you visiting Rock of Cashel then pop in to the Abbey

Of Historical significance over 800 years old.. beautiful stone work, built originally by the Benedictine order with medieval methods still in evidence today. Situated in a working farm field with roaming cattle and a pathway straight to entryway. A magnificent view of "the Cashel " just above on the limestone. NOT.. wheelchair accessible as you have a small rounded gate with one way access to navigate onto pathway. No parking lot.. small roadways.

It’s a beautiful historical place originally built in the 13th century. It has ruins but well protected. A bit confusing when you see the sign at the gate, seems like a private property. After talking to a nice local lady, I found that the building structures are Ireland heritage and government property along with the walkway. The surrounding field is more like private property since cows come to the area during summer. No designated parking but you can just park on the street. Free parking and free entrance. A roadside attraction from Dublin to Cork.

Beautiful location to visit. There is no parking, so either I recommend parking somewhere in town and walking about 10 minutes, or find parking along the road. Please be respectful when you visit and pick up any trash you see, including your own. Leave no trace.

Told by the employees at the Cashel Rock that this is an old monastery. A wonderfully adventurous experience to walk down there from the Rock, also free from any litter and vandalism which we could see. Would have liked an informative sign somewhere detailing some history about the ruin.
