Beautiful place, out of main routes but well worth to visit

A majestic, spiritual (although in ruins) place - time to reflect on the passing life?

Lovely abbey with amazing lake view we visited on way to Parke’s Castle, we’ll worth the stop! Place is free and open to anyone. Also there is a functioning cemetery on the site.

Lovely small ruin with well cared for local family graves. The place is clearly not for groups and must be respected as it is by the families of those buried there. There is a large family of Martin's that fly from the ruin and the location at the head of of Lough Arrow is spectacular.

Château du Lude

The Château du Lude is one of the many great châteaux of the Loire Valley in France. Le Lude is the most northerly château of the Loire Valley and one of the last important historic castles in France, still inhabited by the same family for the last 260 years. The château is testimony to four centuries of French architecture, as a stronghold transformed into an elegant house during the Renaissance and the 18th century. The monument is located in the valley of Le Loir. Its gardens have evolved throughout the centuries.
