St. Brendan's Clonfert Cathedral

Great Door !

I am a sucker for a beautiful church super impressive doorway amazing carvings 12th centuary I think and really beautiful feel to the grounds.

Impressive carvings.

The carvings around the doorway are very impressive especially considering that they were done 800 years ago. The grave of St. Brendan is in the graveyard. Worth stopping by to have a look.

Little gem of stone carving

A 12th little cathedral with richly carved surrounds of the entrance, worth seeking out and stopping by to take pictures of the features of the doorway.
