I loved visiting this cathedral. It's an active Anglican congregation. Wonderful. The visit to St. Patrick's grave was a plus.

Worth wandering into if you've come to visit the grave of St. Patrick, but the current establishment offers a hodge-podge of doctrine and ideas that wouldn't be recognizable to St. Patrick as Christianity. read more

A truly lovely cathedral. And full of history. Just out back is where Saint Patrick (yes THE Saint Patrick) is buried. It was special to visit this place. They were very welcoming inside and directed us to where St Patrick's gravestone is. I recommend stopping by to anyone who is in the area. They also throw a big St Patty's Day celebrating in the town, if you're interested! read more

In the graveyard is supposed to be the burial site of St. Patrick. The building has a beautiful organ case, box pews, and stained glass windows. There is a souvenir shop and toilets. This was built as a Benedictine Monastery in 1183. You can arrange guided tours. read more
