Looking to the north from the bridge you will see the impressive Quin Abbey. The abbey was built between 1402 and 1433 by Sioda Cam MacNamara, for Fathers Purcell and Mooney, friars of the Franciscan order. Much of its prominent features have been well preserved including its cloisters.
The grounds are free to enter and make a good spot for a picnic.
