Tintern Abbey

Founded in 1200 AD by William, the Earl Marshall, this historic complex consists of a nave, chancel, chapel and cloister.

Reviewed By amandatallullah - New Ross, Ireland

As a local .. would really recommend for walking .. good 3km circuit through wooded areas and down by river. Tranquil and beautiful. Gravelled does not muddy paths. Inclines so good to get the heart rate moving. Good parking ... cafe on site and pub within walking distance in Saltmills.

These two churches are more or less identical and were designed by a Gothic Revival architect friend of Pugin . They are truly magnificent and well worth a visit .

Dunbrody Famine Ship Experience

Reviewed By 469maurar

Visited recently, the guide was very enthusiastic and informative.The two actors playing the part of the passengers really brought the story alive and the interaction with the visitors was entertaining! After the ship we visited the restaurant which was excellent and far above the standard normally found at a visitor centre. Would thoroughly recommend a visit to the Dunbrody.
