Cloyne: Cathedral, Tower and the Meadow of the Cave

A short walk through the ancient cathedral seat of Cloyne, from the 13th-century St Colman's Cathedral and its 10th-century round tower to the memorial of philosopher-bishop George Berkeley, the hurling legend Christy Ring, and the limestone cave network that gave the town its name. Small in scale, the town's history runs deep — literally, into the caves beneath its streets. Looking for things to do in Cloyne? Start here — no car, no ticket, no booking.
