About Clonmacnoise

Few arrivals on the Shannon match rounding the bend below Clonmacnoise and seeing its round towers above the water. St Ciarán founded the monastery in the 6th century where the Esker Riada road met the river, and it grew into one of Europe’s great centres of learning. Inside the OPW enclosure stand nine churches, a cathedral, three high crosses and two round towers among more than 700 early grave slabs; the original crosses are kept indoors in the visitor centre. Boats can moor a few steps from the site. Note: the site is fully closed from 19 October 2026 until January 2027 for car park works, and a larger visitor-centre redevelopment is under way, so check heritageireland.ie before you go. Admission in 2026 was €8 for adults and €20 for families. Shannonbridge is about an hour downstream.
