  1. Franciscan Abbey

    Share Share Post
    The O'Byrnes and the O'Toole's founded the Franciscan Abbey eight hundred years ago, there are now only four walls standing and they are covered with ivy. It is said there is a secret passage leading to the sea and people think that there is a hidden treasure there, although no one has ever found the passage they say it will be very soon discovered.
