    For my nine year old daughter, these ruins were a highlight of the trip. I guess since we really don't have many places like this in the U.S., the romantic notion of exploring ruins really appeals...

    Luckily we found a parking soot right at the abby. We took a nice walk around the grounds. The abby itself was good but did not take more than 20 mins to look around

  • By Fabrício Souza
    Great place to visit and wonderful experience! A lot of nature and great trails to explore. In the village it is possible to find good restaurants and hotels. I definitely recommend Cong.
  • By Leonardo Valeriano (Naota)
    The living history here is amazing. See Walls from the early 1000s is an unique experience. You shall visit this place when hosted at Ashford Castle. A must seem place

    A really cool old Abby along the river. We drove up from Galway - well worth the trip, there are lots to see along the way as well.
