Muckross Abbey

A short walk from the wedding venue were the remains of Muckross Abbey.

Our first sight

It was founded in 1448 by Franciscan monks

The roof might have fallen but the walls were in pretty good condition.

The nave...

...looking into the chancel.


There's a large yew tree surrounded by the cloisters.




The old graveyard is the burial place for several Irish poets...

...with a wonderful view over Lough Leane.
