This impressive ruin of a Franciscan monastery was founded in 1470 by John O'Connor of Kerry. The monastery had a turbulent history and was attacked by English troops in 1580, with the monks being killed in front of the altar. Today, you can still explore the Gothic windows, the refectory, and the monks' sleeping quarters. An atmospheric place along the banks of the Shannon estuary, where the silence of the past is palpable.

Take the lane off to the west between the red topped cream pillars to explore Lislaughtin Abbey, a Franciscan Friary dating from the late 15th century. There is an information board at the entrance to the Abbey which is otherwise pretty secluded.
