Ballintubber Abbey
Ballintubber Abbey is situated two kilometres northeast of the village of Ballintubber, County Mayo in Ireland. Founded in 1216 by Cathal Crovderg O'Connor, Ballintubber Abbey is an important sacred Irish historical site which will celebrate its 800 year anniversary in 2016.
When St Patrick brought Christianity to Ireland in c.441AD, he founded a church at Ballintubber. The present Abbey was founded in 1216 by King Cathal O'Conor. It is the only church in Ireland still in daily use that was founded by an Irish king.
Visit Ballintubber Abbey, known as “the Abbey that refused to die.” Through its many vicissitudes, including burning by Cromwell's army in 1653, the Abbey has remained a place of worship despite years of continuous attacks and religious repression.
The abbey has several modern outdoor attractions, including a very modern abstract Way of the Cross, an underground permanent Crib, and a Rosary Way.

Customer Testimonial
We had such a great time, the bed and breakfasts were so nice and the host so friendly. We particularly liked Doolin with the views of hillsides and the great pubs. The only bad was the hotel in Dublin--it was not bad but it was a bit away, the hotel in its self was great, service wonderful it was just the distance from town and we understood this.....we drove all over and saw so much and we're already planning on a new trip.
Thanks so much for the help and I would definitely recommend a GPS we got one with the rental car and it was worth every cent of the rental. I will also recommend your travel service to the friends I have that are planning a trip to Ireland--I envy you living there all the time.
Have a wonderful day.Linda Chase, Florida, USA
