What you'll see
A roofless medieval friary in the park, with a bell tower, a cloister, and a huge old yew tree growing in the middle of the cloister garth.
A brief history
Franciscan friars founded it in the 1440s; it was raided and burned by Cromwell's forces in the 1650s. Kerry's old Gaelic poets are buried here.
