As part of our guided walking tour, we journey through its storied past—uncovering ancient religious customs, local myths, enduring legends, and long-held secrets hidden in the silence of its cloisters. Let the spirit of this hallowed place awaken your imagination and connect you with Ireland’s rich spiritual heritage on this fully guided walking tour.
