Clonmacnoise is a ruined monastery situated in County Offaly in Ireland on the River Shannon south of Athlone, founded in 544 by Saint Ciarán. Built-in Early Christian Ireland, Clonmacnoise with its perfectly preserved round towers and high crosses is a must-visit along Ireland's Ancient East.

Photography Tips
