    Very beautiful abbey in the heart of Cong. It is in ruins, but still in very good shape. Free admission.  more »

    This was a really interesting stop on our way up from Kylemore Abbey. Cong Abbey was neat, the Monks Fishing House was cool, and we were able to take a quick walk to the Guinness Tower which was off.....  more »

    Very interesting ruins, in a lovely location. It would be nice to have a little bit more information around to discover the history of the place. Overall a good experience though
  • By Manuela Koch
    wonderful place to visit. It's so beautiful especially with the river and the monks fishing house. A not that much touristic place with a romantic touch surrounded by beautiful nature.
