The ruins are well maintained and loaded with history. Grave markers are very clean and readable if you interested in that sort of thing. The architecture of the building is pretty impressive. Massive walls with arches and gateways and some nice windows. There is a decent bell tower to look at. The chapels and sanctuary are excellent with ceilings and carvings to take a good look at. Spent about 30 minutes here, could do longer if you want to shoot more photos. There are no toilets and it's down a long desolate road. There is no admission fee. There is plenty of parking for free This abbey is fantastic with great parking, the interior is well preserved and there is much to see, explore and enjoy, the surrounding grounds are small, well kept and tidy. So the whole location is a must see and such an enjoyable visit, cheers Corcomroe Abbey (St Mary of the Fertile Rock) is a stunning 12th/13th-century Cistercian ruin set right in the heart of the Burren. The dramatic limestone landscape makes the location as impressive as the abbey itself. The Gothic stonework and carving details are remarkable, giving the whole site a peaceful, atmospheric feel. One of the highlights is the intricately carved tomb of King Conor O’Brien (grandson of Brian Boru), who died in 1267 — a real connection to Ireland’s royal past. Practical bits: there are no toilets, but a small parking area is right outside the gate. Entry is free, and you’re free to roam the abbey and grounds at your own pace. Quiet, photogenic, and steeped in history — Corcomroe is well worth a stop. This is more of a cemetery with walls nowadays as the Abbey has been abandoned for centuries. It is really cool to see how an old building has somewhat been repurposed for another use. Some tombs are centuries old while others are just a couple of months old. It is great to see the preservation of so many generations. Great things to do in Clare. Interesting ruin that is used for local families’ graveyards, which gives good character for the area. Very good view toward the geopark as well. Beautiful, serene Abbey ruins and cemetery which is nearly 1000yrs old. Worth a stop if you're in the area visiting Ailwee caves/ Hazel mountain chocolate etc. While at first sight it may not be the most impressive of ruined abbeys here in Ireland, but a closer looks reveals some fantastic stone work that will take your breath away, as well as giving you great views of the landscape. Free entry and with a small car park onsite, it's really worth visiting Very tranquil place. It's a burial ground outside and inside the structure. Some headstones on columns are still there...well preserved! There's a parking space for a few cars. No cost to enter. Definitely worth the trip! This place was really beautiful. There are a lot of graves there. Some old and some new which was surprising. It's very peaceful and quiet. There is no cost for admission and you will probably not see any other visitors while you are there. Quick stop on way to Cliffs of Moher. The Abbey was surreal and tranquil. We wanted to stay longer. Would be cool to know more about the history and who all is resting there. Nice little abbey that is now used as a cemetery. Still worrh to look at for everyone who likes historic monuments.
