Corcomroe Abbey

Reviewed By RAyandBeau

I have visited many of the still functioning abbeys. Corcomroe Abbey, although in ruins , has retained that sense of separation from the world practiced by monks worldwide. The silence that surrounded the place as well as the silence within reminded me of the inner silence that is sought by those who enter Monasteries and Abbeys everywhere. I was fortunate to be there at a time when there was no one else around so the solitude and silence was profound. I found myself imagining myself as a monk in the 12th and 13th Centuries .. I was there on October 22, 2018 just a few days before the days of Halloween and All Saints... Could feel the Spirits of those so long departed.

Quin Abbey

Reviewed By breerodriguez - Galway, Ireland

My family and I had a private driver for the day. We planned on making a few stops at historic sites we were interested in seeing on our way to Galway. He encouraged that we also stop at Quin Abbey during our trip. This place was amazing!! There were no tourists crowding the area which allowed for perfect picture taking opportunities. I really enjoyed being able to explore the castle at my own pace. The site itself was beautiful and very well kept. This was definitely one of the best parts of my trip here in Ireland!!
