The Rock of Cashel, Ireland


South and west of the lovely town of Kilkenny is the famous Rock of Cashel. It is one of those places that for hundreds of years people have given a mystical and special religious meaning.  Like Mt. Saint Michel in France (on a small scale) it juts up from the surrounding landscape and was just the perfect spot for a fortified church or abbey. It is one of the don't miss places in Ireland. It is worth the visit and you will understand why it has long been a favorite place. There is nothing to kiss or a huge gift shop. There are locals who will give you a tour - or leave you alone. Walk the graveyard and sense the history of this amazing place.
