    Hiking

    The church lies in ruins and as often in Ireland the graveyard extends to its inside. Quite atmospheric place to visit.

    Atop the cliffs of Ardmore lies one of Ireland's oldest Christian sites. This impressive complex combines a 12th-century cathedral with an iconic, 30-meter-high round tower. Be sure to wander along the western outer wall of the ruin to admire the unique Romanesque carving, on which biblical scenes such as Adam and Eve are still clearly visible. Inside, you'll find rare Ogham stones with the oldest Irish script. Next to the cathedral stands the 8th-century oratory, the traditional burial place of St. Declan. A historic resting place with a phenomenal view over the Celtic Sea.
