For years this one-man monastic settlement was difficult to locate and it's great to know, that it's now marked on the Brown Walking Trail at the Burren National Park, and is easily accessible on foot. Sheltered by the Burren hills and Eagle's Rock above, this historic site commands a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding landscape, while at the same time remains endlessly wrapped in an envelope of infinite solitude and tranquillity.
