View from another scenic drive leaving Clifden.
Ahh...Kylemore Abbey. This was a favorite stop, at least for me. This is presently being used as a boarding school for girls and is run by nuns. However, it was originally a castle built by a loving husband for his wife. I believe this should be the blueprint for the castle that Brian will someday build me, but he's not buying into it.
View from Kylemore...now what girl couldn't get used to this?
Us at Kylemore...perfect setting, lake in the front yard, mountains in the backyard. We did go inside to see some of the rooms and they were just as spectacular.
On our next stop we went to the Shrine at Knock, site of a confirmed miracle in which several villagers saw an apparition in which Mary, Joseph, St. John the Baptist, and a lamb appeared. This is not the actual shrine...I didn't feel comfortable taking a picture of it. We were also very intrigued by the holy water water fountains that were on the grounds...I don't know about anyone else, but that doesn't seem very holy to me.
