This is one of my favorite spots in all of Ireland. It is called Hore Abbey and it is nothing but a ruin sitting at the bottom of the Rock of Cashel.
it was founded in 1266 by Benedictine monks but the ruler of Cashel dreamed the monks were plotting to kill him so he destroyed their ordered and seized the land and brought in Ciscterian monks.
I thought this place was one of the best that we visited. I just loved the fact that these ruins were in the middle of a field literally untouched.
I LOVED the ceiling. It amazed me that such a wonder could still exist after 900 years.
i think I could have stayed there all day if Deborah had not reminded me that we were headed to the Cliffs of Mohr later that day.
