The soaring round tower of Kilmacduagh Monastery in County Galway has stood watch over this ancient monastery for more than a thousand years. It's one of Ireland's most remarkable early Christian sites and a place that never fails to inspire.

The coooos were at the astounding Kilmacduagh complex, founded in the 7th C, though the current buildings 'only' date from the 11th C. The cemetery is still in use! The most recent grave, still fresh earth, was only a few weeks ago 💔🙏. (Not photographed obvs, out of respect).

Such a varied county, the west feels so different to the east. Have to say biased towards the islands, though. Not only are they stunningly beautiful, but they are just full of heritage!

St Colman mac Duagh of Kilmacduagh, Co. Galway & his monks didn't have much to eat for Easter one year so he prayed that God provide! Colman's cousin King Guaire was sitting down to a banquet which was spirited away by unseen hands to Colman! "Road of the dishes" is nearby! #food #FairyTaleTuesday

I love Irish round towers! Like giant grey pencils or a child’s drawing of a rocket. They date to the medieval period and were probably used as belfries or places of refuge. This one is at Kilmacduagh monastery in Co. Galway. It’s over 30m tall and has a decidedly eccentric lean. 🏺
