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.

Mellifont Abbey is Ireland's first Cistercian abbey. Very little remains of the original abbey, but the 14th-century chapter hall, and the Romanesque arches are gems. one can walk around undisturbed, and take beautiful pictures

This past weekend I visited Ireland's Ancient East. One of the OPW sites I had an opportunity to enjoy was Mellifont Abbey (or Old Mellifont Abbey)
Even though it was wet outside, Nicola gave a terrific tour to myself and a French family. We learned about the history of the Cistercian order, how the abbey was founded and its evolution to modern times. Its clear she has a passion for history and a love for the location itself.
The exhibit was terrific and the walk through the site with somebody who could re-create it in our minds eye, was important.
Plenty of parking and toilets were a welcome sight
I always do the tour if possible.

The ruins of the abbey were very impressive and as we visited with part of our tour we were able to hear a lot of the Irish and British history and how it affected the abbeys and churches in Ireland. Among the ruins you are able to see the original layout and signs around the abbey tell you about the history.

This is an absolutely pleasant place to visit and I’m very grateful I had the opportunity to do just that!
The only downfall is that it’s not very accessible unless you have a car. My friend and I took an Uber to Mellifont Abbey from Drogheda and had to use the local taxi service to get back.
If you have the time and a way to visit though, I highly recommend that you do! It’s beautiful, peaceful, and is a great spot for prayer and reflection.

We were in beautiful Mellifont recentl, my first visit in a few years. It was out of season so the visitors centre was closed. No matter because there are so many good info display boards dotted about that yiy still get plenty out of your visit
The lavabo was a highlight, where the Monks washed their hands before meals. It's a deceptively large site with so much to see and learn. Beautifully maintained with well kept paths, lots of benches to just sit and contemplate, and as I mentioned loads if info boards.
There's a small free car park at the entrance.
Just a lovely place, so quiet and peaceful in the spring sunshine

We took a small detour to explore Mellifont Abbey and I'm so glad we did. As a history buff, it was interesting to see the ruins and learn about how they functioned. There is also a lovely picnic area beside a quiet stream. It's very pleasant, and we left a donation at the vistor's center.

Lovely to see the ruins of the old abbey. It was very quiet when we arrived so it was possible to imagine the solitude of the place. Some of the ruins are quite well preserved. Would recommend it for a visit. Toilets while old, were very clean too (and it was the end of the day when we visited).

Mellifont Abbey is a wonderful place to wander and absorb history. Because we were there in February, the visitor center was not open, but we also had the entire place to ourselves. They do a good job of noting what the ruined buildings were originally and apply some context for you. I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here and would definitely come again.

Sorry, just saw your question. I don't know, but I never saw anyone official looking. It's a small area. If you clean up after them, it should be ok. Parking is very close to the site.

Yes you can visit in October, I think the visitors centre may be closed but you can do the self visit, all the information about the abbey is available on site. I've always visited these way and you can take your time and enjoy.

Hello.
im very sure they run tours from Droggeda (local town) and the visitor centre in the town will arrange for you stress free. i suggest renting a car as there is many other beautiful attractions around that area. ensure you visit Newgrange..
