Activity itinerary

Kilfenora
  • 50m
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.
Kilfenora Cathedral & Crosses
  • 10m
St Fachnan founded a monastery here in the 6th century. In 1058 the Cathedral was built and the seat of Kilfenora diocese was born, the smallest in the country - and where the Pope remains the bishop. Take in the spiritual elements hidden amongst the ruins and landscapes of the ‘City’, including the Holy Well, the High Crosses and the Spirituality of a Landscape that goes back to the Stone Age
