The Seven Churches (Na Seacht dTeampaill)

Highlight • Religious Site

The seven churches was known as one of the largest monastic foundations and centres of pilgrimage along the west coast of Ireland.

St Brecan's church is a large church from multiple periods between the 8th and 13th century. It has some fine examples of large high quality masonry including a stunning arch, nave and chancel.

There is a real feeling of being transported back into time whilst visiting this site, with little modernity around it.

After a week, I'm finally back on my bike. This time to the Aran Islands. Beautiful scenery, mediocre rental bikes. But the real adventure is the ferry ride, which today took us over very stormy seas and caused several people to get seasick.
