    Kilfenora

    Discover the fascinating history of Kilfenora, smallest city in the world, known as the City of Crosses due to it boasting the greatest concentration of ancient high crosses in Ireland. Not only has this picturesque village its own medieval Cathedral dating back to 1058, but it also claims the Pope as Bishop. This captivating guided tour takes in the unique archaeology, legends, folklore and the history of a village which has been the hub of ecclesiastical inception, unique farming practices and, in more modern times, a forerunner for environmental tourism.
