Muckross Abbey, Killarney

Beautiful abbey that is a 5 minute walk from the car park. The car park itself is small and although we were able to find parking, I could see it filling up quickly during the busy season. The abbey itself is well maintained and there is no cost to see it. We saw many abbeys during our time in Ireland but I found this one to be one of the better ones. It’s much bigger than it looks when approaching it, and there are many rooms and levels to explore. Unlike many places that are restricted, you are able to move freely through most of Muckross.

This was absolutely our favorite abbey we’ve visited. A good walk from parking and worth it. Rich in history. The yew tree and the arches hall are so amazing.

I loved everything about this experience. The abbey wasn't too far a walk from the parking lot, maybe 5-10 minutes. The grounds of the abbey were beautiful and it was very cool walking through the ruins and imagining how it looked while it was whole. The tree in the middle of the abbey was what made me want to go there and was as great in person as I imagined. There was a nice visitors center with a gift shop, food, and bathrooms.

This was probably the best Abbey we saw during our 2 week visit to Ireland recently and it's free. The buildings are in good condition. It's a bit of a walk from Muckross House , around 1.5km or take a horse kart. The Abbey has a tree growing in the middle of it which is quite impressive . There are many little tunnels and stairs , all safe and easily accessible. We spent over an hour at this Abbey , really worth a visit which should include the other attractions really close by

What a beautiful place to visit. A nice walk in to the Abbey and it is absolutely amazing to explore around. The graveyard is fascinating and being able to walk around the abbey itself brings you back centuries to imagine what it was like when it was in use.
