So on the way back to Dublin from Dingle we stopped at the Rock of Cashel

Instead of going inside the castle, we walked around it, looked down a hill and saw this

we walked a little further and found a path down the hillside . . .

through a sheep pasture

we got to the bottom of the hill and had a nice view

crossed a street and found this
(click the sign to view it larger)
and a gate, and a path with a little company

like this guy

then we got into the ruins of the old abbey


flowers. . .

the sun came out and it was quite pretty

and there was a great view of the Rock of Cashel




I liked the old abbey, cows, sheep and all

eventually we went back to the Rock of Cashel and toured around there

but I still think the Hore abbey was my favorite part of the day
