Situated in Fore village, this 13th century Benedictine abbey (though most buildings are from the 15th century) is an imposing site. The original monastery was founded by St. Fechin who was born in the 7th century and the older ruined church associated with him, is still to be seen today opposite the main abbey which was built under the Norman, Hugh de Lacy. The site is associated with the “seven wonders of Fore” and also with eighteen stone crosses, scattered over a 10k area. There is a wonderful looped walk through the abbey and over the Ben of Fore and back into a village which emanates its own unique character and aeons of history.
