| Quin Abbey Six miles east of Ennis, lies the picturesque village of Quin. This peaceful village with a small population of about 240 residents is rapidly developing into a tourist centre. Popular amongst fishermen with all year round fishing carried on along the River Rine, Quin has developed into an equestrian centre with a number of stud farms in the area  However it's the huge historical presence in Quin and its surrounding areas that attracts many visitors to the village every year. The site of Ireland's greatest ever discovery of prehistoric gold workings, some of which can be seen today in the National Museum in Dublin, Quin also boasts the best preserved Abbey of the Mid-West Region. Quin Abbey founded in 1433 housed many Franciscan monks over the centuries until 1820 when the last monk, Father Hogan, whose burial site can be visited in the Abbey, died. This Abbey along with the 13th century Gothic style church lying adjacent to it attracts many visitors who come to climb the spiral staircase and explore how the monks lived and view the surrounding countryside. |
