Dunbrody Abbey
Go get lost in the Dunbrody Maze. Always fun and a great test of how you co-ordinate your self around as your bearing seems to lose themselves deep inside. Viewing point in the centre offers a beautiful view of the Dunbrody Abbey. Gorgeous tearooms and gift shop attached, highly recommend the delicious home baked confectionery
Loftus Hall
