Clare – Holy Island Tours

Holy Island Tours on Lough Derg Clare

 

Holy Island on Lough Derg and the river Shannon is one of the most famous monastic sites in Ireland.

Its many attractions include a well-preserved Round Tower, the ruins of six churches, a Holy Well, a unique graveyard with slabs dating from the eight century, Bullaun Stones, a cell like structure, which is one of the most extraordinary buildings in Ireland and a ‘bargaining’ stone where many a marriage was brokered.

Their secluded position has enabled them to survive in a wonderful state of preservation.
