Hore Abbey, County Tipperary, Ireland


    Hore Abbey, County Tipperary, Ireland

I'm a big fan of the Rock of Cashel, an undeniably spectacular collection of medieval buildings (including a 12th-century round tower, a Gothic cathedral, and a 15th-century castle) set atop a limestone outcropping. For lovers of history and medieval architecture, of which I'm both, there may be no better tourist attraction in all of Ireland. But the crowds—oh, the crowds! If your idea of "intimate" doesn't include a guided tour with 50 of your closest friends, then top off your visit to the Rock of Cashel with a trip to nearby Hore Abbey. This gorgeous deserted ruin has no tour guides, no crowds, and no entrance fee. On most days, it's just you, the ghosts, and maybe a stray dog or two. Very much worth the visit.
