Adare is said to be
the
prettiest village in Ireland.
We had a Devonshire tea at Aunty Lena's.
These thatched cottages
which are now craft shops and restaurants
were originally built for the
workers and tenants of the Earl of Desmond's estate.
Trinitarian
Abbey
The
Trinitarian Order established their only monastery in Ireland in Adare
in 1230.
The Abbey was restored in 1811 by the first Earl of Dunraven
as the Catholic Parish church.
