Kildare Monastic Trail
County Kildare is at the heart of the story of the dawn of Christianity in Ireland, and some of Ireland’s most famous saints like Brigid, Colmcille and Patrick have strong links with the county. Narrated by Kildare actor Liam Quinlivan; this free audiguide to the Kildare Monastic Trail will lead you to atmospheric ruins of ancient monasteries, where you will encounter some of Ireland’s best preserved round towers, panel by panel descriptions of high crosses and fascinating tales of history and folklore.
