Muckross Abbey

Muckross Abbey: Medieval Ruins & The Epic Central Yew Tree

4.8 (476)

Skip the crowded jaunting car tours and bike here yourself. The 15th-century ruins are eerie, quiet, and perfect for photos without the massive tour groups. That massive, 500-year-old yew tree in the center of the roofless cloister is the main event. Spend an hour wandering the stone corridors and looking for burial markers. Go early or right before sunset to avoid the daytime rush. It costs absolutely nothing to enter, so save your cash.

Address: Killarney National Park, Muckross, Kerry
