This Cistercian abbey, situated in a valley northeast of the peninsula, was founded in 1200 by the Norman William de Clare. During his first voyage to Ireland, he was caught in a storm and vowed to found an abbey if he survived. Monks inhabited the site until the 16th century, after which the abbey was owned by the Colclough family for almost 400 years. The complex, which offers a highly photogenic view from the fortified bridge, has preserved magnificent remains, including an imposing battlemented tower.

Open from mid-March to early November; the prices Birgit mentioned are still current. We were there in December. You can still walk around the ruins and get a good impression.

Skeeter's Rock, located on Forth Mountain near Wexford, offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside and coastline. It combines natural beauty with fascinating history from the 1798 Rebellion.

Tindern Abbey was formerly a Cistercian monastery. After the monasteries were dissolved by the English in the 16th century, it fell into disrepair. Today only this ruin remains.

Not the highest climb around but it's a good challenge and provides great views over to Leinster Mountain on a clear day.

Landmark at the top of Black Mountain that can be a lifesaver if the Irish weather sets in. If you have to dive for refuge in the hut you'll likely find plenty of other adventurers doing the same!

At 794m high Mount Leinster is a tough challenge. A famous climb with a radio tower at the top, the view is exceptional (if the weather is clear). Well worth the climb to the top.
