Ardfert Friary: Ardfert, Co Kerry

by | Jun 25, 2012 | Kerry, Landmarks & Buildings, Religious Sites

A stark contrast between the soft green fields in which it’s located, Ardfert Friary stands tall and proud. Built in the mid 13th century, its walls still capture the beauty that once was. A short paved walkway on private property will take you to this quiet national monument, likely void of many other visitors. It is there you can explore old stones, passageways, and towers that housed monks and soldiers alike. Near to its namesake, the Ardfert Cathedral is only a half mile away and boasts a visitor’s center.
