Timoleague Abbey

Timoleague Abbey stands in the village of Timoleague, County Cork, on the shore of the Argideen estuary. The site preserves the substantial ruins of a medieval religious house, with roofless walls, a tower and cloister that give a strong sense of its former scale.

Set beside the water, the ruins are a striking historic landmark and a rewarding place to explore for anyone interested in Ireland’s monastic past. Its estuary setting adds to the atmosphere of this well-known County Cork site.
