The Abbey and The 7 Wonders of Fore.
Situated in the village of Fore are the ancient ruins of St. Feichins Monastery which date back to the 7th. Centuary A.D. On the hillside just above the old church of St. Feichin is the Anchorite's Church which was used by hermits until the 17th. Century. Patrick Beglan, the last hermit in Ireland lived there until 1616 and is commemorated on a stone tablet in the cell.

Fore Abbey represents the largest group of Benedictine remains in Ireland - closely associated to the monastery and St. Feichin are the Seven Wonders of Fore which include the water that flows Uphill, the Tree that won't burn, the Water that won't Boil, & the Monastery built in a Bog.

Visitors are welcome for a small fee and there is a shop for mementos. The castle itself is closed during the month of August but the Gardens remain open.
