Ross Errily Abbey (14th century)
Kylemore Abbey
Kylemore Abbey was originally a castle built 1867 by a wealthy English businessman and politician, but he had to sell it by 1903.
From 1920 to 2010 it was used by Benedictine nuns running a boarding school.
It has only been open to the public since 1993.

Off with his head!
Not only is this location famous for being taken over by the man who chopped off the head of Charles I,
Mayor Lynch is famous for hanging his own son - they say that's why "lynch" is another word for hanging.
Oh, and Captain Boycott lived near here (1832-97) - an Englishman that charged such high rents his Irish tenants, well, boycotted him.
Judging by this fine pint of Guinness, I'd say The King's Head Pub knows a thing or two about a good head!
Plenty of snappy Irish sayings to choose from for your car
Hard to believe, but in 2012 it looked like Justin Bieber's 15 minutes of fame was almost up!
You too, Jedward
That's including tax - and no tipping, ya big numpty!
