Follow the ruined cloisters and carved tombs of one of Connacht's best-preserved Franciscan friaries, founded by the O'Kelly lords of Uí Maine on the site of an older church of St Conall. The short walk moves from the tower and nave through the cloister and former friars' quarters before finishing in the small village of Kilconnell that grew up beside the friary gate.
