Saint Mullins revisited
The ruins of the Ecclesiastical city of St Mullins as night closes in
The ancient monastic settlement of St Mullins is truly the jewel in the crown of County Carlow.
Stunning natural beauty combined with it’s rich history does indeed mark it as a special place.
Stretching back to the legend of Fionn Mac Cumhaill and the Fianna and of course to the founding of the famed monastic site by St Mullins the area is of national significance and not appreciated enough by us Carlovians!
I called in today for a short visit just as light was fading; my words can never do it justice and it’s hard to truly capture the magic of the place with a few photos but here’s a few that record some of that important history!
