    Jerpoint Abbey's cloister is a remarkable architectural feature that offers insight into the lives of monks who once lived and worshiped within its walls. This peaceful and contemplative space is an essential part of the abbey's layout.

    The cloister is typically a square or rectangular courtyard enclosed by covered walkways with a central garden. It provided a space for monks to meditate, study, and engage in religious activities away from the distractions of the outside world. The cloister at Jerpoint Abbey is no exception and provides a serene atmosphere for visitors to explore.
