Kilfenora Attractions
From Leamaneh Castle the R476 leads west to Kilfenora, which was the see of a bishop until the 18th century. The west end of the modest "Cathedral" (12th century, National Monument) is roofed and still used for worship; the roofless choir contains fine 13th and 14th century gravestones.
Among the many crosses at Kilfenora is a high cross carved with a Crucifixion and rich ornament standing in a field 109yd/100m west. The finest is the Doorty Cross, on the east side of which are figures of three bishops and a two-headed bird.
In Kilfenora can be found the Burren Display Center. A video show and a small exhibition inform visitors about the Burren, its flora and fauna, etc. A tea room and information center adjoin.
