Abbey Ruins and Hidden Castle - County Mayo, Ireland
Abbey Ruins in Co. Mayo and a long forgotten castle we were so lucky to find, not even signposted :-)
Moore Hall - famous big house, sadly now abandoned from the Moore Family in Mayo/Ireland. There is an interesting story about this building and the previous owners. The property is regarded as the ancestral home of the Moores of Ireland - the most famous being John Moore the Irish Politician. At the time of the Irish Rebellion of 1798 a force of 1,000 French soldiers under General Humbert landed at Killala. Moore joined the French as did a considerable number of his tenants. After the Battle of Castlebar which took place on 27 August 1798, General Humbert, on 31 August 1798, issued the following decree, which inter alia appointed John Moore as the President of the Government of the Province of Connacht.
Moore Hall, which is also written as MooreHall, is the house and estate of George Henry Moore and his family and it is situated to the south of the village Carnacon in the barony of Carra, County Mayo in a karst limestone landscape. The Moore Hall was built by an aristocratic Irish family, Moores, which were an originally English protestant family.
Moore Hall, which is the ruins of the Moore family's large stately home, lie on Muckloon Hill overlooking Lough Carra. The Moore family was famous and even some of the individuals and characters related to it were considered famous as well and who played major roles and parts in the social, cultural, and political history of Ireland from the end of the eighteenth century to the early twentieth century.
Since we are referring to this place or house as ruins, it is important to mention that the house was burned down in 1923 by anti-Treaty irregular forces during the Irish Civil War since Maurice Moore was viewed as pro-Treaty.
Since the Abbey Ruins and that Hidden Castle, which a lot of people still know nothing about and haven't discovered yet, are situated in county Mayo in Ireland, it is important to shed the light on this place. County Mayo is a county in Ireland; in the west of Ireland, it is part of the province Connacht and is named after the village of Mayo and which is now known as Mayo Abbey.
County Mayo is bounded on the north and west by the Atlantic Ocean; to the south by county Galway, the east by county Roscommon, and the northeast by county Sligo. Ireland is known to be formed of 32 different counties and county Mayo is the third largest and the second largest in Connacht's five counties in both the size as well as the population.
The Abbey Ruins and the Moore Hall are located close to the Ballintubber Abbey which is two kilometers northeast of the village of Ballintubber in county Mayo and which is believed to be the only church found by an Irish king and is still in regular use today. During the long history of this church, it was at some point destroyed to stay without roof but it was still being used until it was restored once again. This abbey has several different attractions, such as the modern abstract way of the cross, the underground permanent crib, and the Rosary way. Inside the place there is also a small museum and it is believed that the infamous priest hunter, Seán na Sagart, is buried in the cemetery, there is also a large tree that marks the place.
In addition to the Ballintubber, the Moore Hall along with the abbey ruins and the hidden castle are also close to Ballinrobe. Ballinrobe is a town in county Mayo that is located on the River Robe that empties into the Lough Mask, two kilometers away. Ballinrobe is not only a town in County Mayo, but it is believed to be the oldest town there. Today, Ballinrobe in county Mayo is an important market town where different renovated historic buildings are found in and around it; there are actually different protected buildings around the city more than any other city in county Mayo (
The final place near the abbey ruins, Moore Hall, county Mayo is Westport, which is a town on the edge of an Atlantic inlet, on Ireland's west coast. In this Georgian town, there are stone bridges that link the tree lined promenade on the banks of the Carrowbeg River, and in it there is also the Rockfleet Castle and Burrishoole Abbey in the northwest and which both have ties to the 16th century pirate queen, Grace O'Malley (
Are you still thinking about some different places and destinations to visit in Ireland? We have been to some of them and thus we are willing to provide some of those which we preferred, such as Clifden Co. Galway ( visiting the Giant's Causeway ( or even heading to the Donaghadee County Down in Ireland (
There are millions of places to visit in Ireland and a lot of attractions to see there, no matter which county or city you are going to end up staying in.
Burrishoole Friary Exterior
An exterior view of Burrishoole Friary near Newport, Co Mayo, Ireland. 06.9.2014.
Burrishoole Friary was a Dominican friary in County Mayo, Ireland. Its ruin is a National Monument.
Burrishoole Friary was founded in 1470 by Richard de Burgo of Turlough, Lord MacWilliam Oughter. It was built without the permission of the Pope. In 1486, the Pope instructed the Archbishop of Tuam to forgive the friars. Richard de Burgo resigned his lordship in 1469 and entered the friary he had founded where he remained a friar until his death four years later. This was not an uncommon occurrence and serves to illustrate the connection between patrons and their foundations at the time.
The church and the eastern wall of the cloister remain. The grounds of the friary are an actively used cemetery.
Burrishoole Friary is a few kilometers west of the town of Newport, County Mayo, It is often called Burrishoole Abbey, although this colloquial name is inaccurate as because the Dominican order did not have abbots, Dominican houses are not technically abbeys.
Almost all the friaries and abbeys across Ireland were suppressed in the wake of the Reformation in the 16th century. Very few were rebuilt after that time and now only the ruins survive, pleasing, if poignant, late Gothic relics of what must have been among the most striking buildings in the countryside of pre-Tudor Ireland.

Clones Town (Updated) - A Visit Through The Years
Greetings to all from Clones Town
(The original Clones Video with 10K views disappeared from YouTube)
I have taken the opportunity to update the video a little bit and have uploaded it again. It now includes a short segment of the 1964 Fleadh Ceol. It is a very grainy piece of film and of poor quality, but I think it is worthwhile seeing in any event. This was taken from a short BBC film.
I also managed to include a few segments of film of the GNR Trains coming into Clones Train Station. I would love to find more of this film as I think it's a very important part of our heritage)
I hope this video appeals to everyone who lives in Clones, anyone who has ever lived in Clones, and to all it family decendents researching their roots. Clones is a town of which we should all be proud.
In compiling this video I could not help but be humbled by thoughts of our ancestors walking the same streets, past the same buildings, worshipping in the same churches and hearing the exact same bells of the Sacred Heart Church which are on the soundtrack of this video.. Some of these old photographs go back to the late 1800s' (not photographed by me!)
It is often said that a town is only as good as it's people. Clones Town has great People. Despite all the adversity visited on Clones Town over the years, it's people have always bounced back and come through with it's tremendous community spirit.
One of the biggest blows ever suffered by Clones (in living memory) was undoubtably the closure of the Great Northern Railway in 1957. It's effect at the time is impossible to put into words. Growing up in Clones during the sixties, it's closure was constantly bemoaned by everybody. Of course the town also had to deal with the woes brought on by the Troubles and the unavoidable economic difficulties of being a border town.
Clones Town has always punched above it's weight with it's number of well known sportsmen, authors, playwrights, musicians and composers.

History
Clones was the site of a monastic settlement in the kingdom of Dartraige Con-innsi, originally founded by Tigernach (anglicised Tierney) in the 6th century, until the dissolution of the monasteries by Henry VIII. St. Tigernach or Tierney's abbey, built in the early 6th century was dedicated to St. Peter and St. Paul. Tigernach later became Bishop of Clogher and removed that see to Clones, where he died of the plague in 550. The abbot was the Primus Abbas, or first mitred abbot of Ireland. The ruins of a 12th century abbey building can still be found in the town, along with a sarcophagus reputed to have been built to house the remains of Saint Tighearnach, and a 9th century round tower and high cross.
Transport
The town was the site of a major junction on the Great Northern Railway during the 19th and early 20th centuries, where routes from Enniskillen, Armagh, Cavan, and Dundalk converged. This formed the focal point of the railway network in what is now the border area between the Republic and Northern Ireland. The railways were finally closed after unilateral closure of the Northern Ireland route sections by the Northern Authorities and the Ulster Transport Authority (see History of rail transport in Ireland). Clones railway station was opened on 26 June 1858, closed for passenger traffic on 14 October 1957, and finally closed altogether on 1 January 1960.
Ireland's Kilmacduagh 7th Century Monastic Site
From Wikipedia: Kilmacduagh Monastery is a ruined abbey near the town of Gort in County Galway, Ireland. It was the birthplace of the Diocese of Kilmacduagh. It was reportedly founded by Saint Colman, son of Duagh in the 7th century, on land given him by his cousin King Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin of Connacht. Kilmacduagh Monastery is located in a small village of the same name, about 5 km from the town of Gort.
The name of the place translates as church of Duagh's son.[1] It was reportedly the 7th century Saint Colman, son of Duagh who established a monastery here on land given to him by his cousin King Guaire Aidne mac Colmáin of Connacht, who had a fortified dwelling near what is today Dunguaire Castle.

Downpatrick Head Ballycastle Mayo Ireland - DJI phantom 4 Drone
Downpatrick Head Co Mayo
Sitting out in the wild Atlantic Ocean, Downpatrick Head is an area of unrivalled coastal beauty and historical importance…
Just a few miles north of Ballycastle village, County Mayo, is the the windswept outcrop of Downpatrick Head. This is the perfect place to park up and stretch your legs with an invigorating coastal walk.
The name Downpatrick is derived from a time when St Patrick himself founded a church here. You can still see the ruins of the church building, a stone cross and holy well here today. This was once a popular pilgrim destination, and today the crowds still gather here on the last Sunday of July – known as Garland Sunday – to hear mass at this sacred site.
The St Patrick connections don’t end there though. Gazing out to sea, you’ll no doubt spot the small collection of islands called the Staggs of Broadhaven, but you’ll also see a lone sea-stack standing close to the edge of the cliffs. This sea-stack is called Dún Briste (broken fort). Local legend says that when a pagan chieftain refused to convert to Christianity, St Patrick struck the ground with his crozier, splitting a chunk of the headland off into the ocean, with the chieftain on top! The sea stack is beautiful to behold because you can see the layers upon layers of multi-coloured rock strata.
Megalithic mind frame
Fast-forward through the centuries and Downpatrick Head became a lookout post during WWII. You can still see the stone building there today.
Achill - Original Composition
Achill is an island in Co.Mayo on the west coast of Ireland. My family is from there and I can say I was lucky to spend the first few years of my life there. It is an amazing place, even when it's raining, which is a lot.
I am dedicating this piece to my mother who is from Keel.
I hope you enjoy it.

Cependant, j'en ai profité pour prendre une courte vidéo des maisons et commerces aux façades multicolores qui défilent sur la rue principale.
L'histoire raconte que cette ville aurait été nommée ainsi en mémoire de l'oncle du fondateur de cette ville qui aurait combattu dans la bataille de Louisbourg en Nouvelle-Écosse en 1758.
