This place is a truly amazing spectacle to see as you round the bend and it comes into sight. As I was travelling to Cork I didn't stop here - there's so much to see! - but did stop to take some photos.

Apparently, Cormac's Chapel is well worth checking out. I shall return here, perhaps with the family - hopefully by then some of the scaffolding will have gone, as they are renovating parts of it at the moment.

The round tower is in great condition and I doubt that it has undergone much renovation looking at the rest of the site here. The door is situated about 3m up this quite short tower.
