Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Stopped by with my daughter as we thought the history of this place was interesting. No other people were there so we were able to walk around in the quiet.

Good car park beside the abbey and old Protestant church (but be careful driving in as it is located on a sharp, blind bend). Abbey is in good condition and an ancient Norman Motte is in the field beside it. Very quiet, peaceful spot.

Beautiful ruins of a 6th Century Abbey that we found by accident driving on back roads. Parking lot was right next door to it, and access was easy.
In front there was a stone explaining the history of the Abbey in both Irish and in English.

Aghaboe is a beautiful little abbey dating from the that century. It was lovingly restored and tended to by the locals and names for such a serene and peaceful place to stop.
It has quite the history, it was founded by St. Canice in the 6th century and the "new" church dates from 1189!
Inside on the wall you'll see plaques commemorating a visit a while back by the Austrian Ambassador and representatives of the Bishop of Salzburg. Its because way back in the day, the 8th century I think, the Abbott of Aghaboe resigned to become a missionary bishop in the aforementioned Austrian city.
It's a beautiful ruin with some ornate window frames surviving as well as a stone altar and most of the walls.
Behind it is the 18th century church of Ireland which thiugh closed on my visit, the grounds are accessible and worth a stroll.
There's a big car oark beside it but no other facilities. Free to enter and open all year.
I loved it.

Activity: Explore ancient abbey
2 adults 1 child
Review: We love to explore ancient sites when ever we road trip and in an area. Aghaboe was on our list for a long time. Although a lot smaller than we envisaged we were enjoying the site alone and reading various headstones & learning the history. What ruined our experience was the sudden quick visits after we arrived from clearly 3 locals who were just popping in to check on nothing. We felt like word was out ‘strange car at abbey check them out’ . One of the ‘ inspectors’ looked like he felt quite stupid when he discovered it was a family trying to appreciate history and made some excuse of asking us to make sure we close the gate after his 2 minute spot check. We cut our visit short after this clear suspicion.
Return visit: No
Put some trust in the visitors guys.

Hidden away in Laois this Abbey has connections to Salzburg in Austria, a one time Abbot leaving Aghaboe to take up residence there. In a field to the side are the remains of a Norman Motte and Baily. Behind the Abbey is Saint Canice's Church and if you look around the cemetery you will come across a general at rest Robert White, Knight of the Order of the Bath. A beautiful area to visit....

Beautiful tranquil location full of history with a ruined Abbey from 1382 and Saint Canice's Church which dates from the 1700's. There is free parking provided and it's not far from Portlaoise. Well worth a visit with the family...

This truly is one of those “ hidden gems” off a main road and off another main road , yet close enough the the Dublin-Cork motorway .
The site is the history of Ireland in one place , with ancient saints and their relics , Viking Raiders , a thriving Centre of monastic learning , a motte and bailey , a monastery dissolved under the Reformation, a newer church built behind it and then in recent times , the ruins have been restored through the commitment of the local people !

Whilst travelling on the R434 between Durrow and Borris in Ossory, County Laois, we came across this delightful and well restored 6th century Abbey, founded by St. Canice. Worth stopping for a short look round. Nearby to the north-west is a Standing Stone and, to the north-east a Motte & Bailey.
