The Tree in Muckross Abbey

A very tall tree grows in the middle of the abandoned, but restored Muckross Abbey.

When you visit Muckross Abbey in Killarney, one thing that immediately catches your eye is the magnificent tree that grows right in the middle of the building. The tree is so large that it almost looks like it’s part of the abbey, as if the building had grown around it over time.

Taking a photo of this tree is an absolute must if you’re a photography enthusiast. As you stand there, camera in hand, you can’t help but marvel at the sheer size of this tree, as its branches extend high into the sky. It’s truly a sight to behold. And if you’re lucky enough to visit on a sunny day, the way the light filters through the leaves is simply magical.

  1. @donncha Oh wow, the twisty, mossy trunk as well. That is indeed a magical and magnificent tree.

  2. @donncha@inphotos.org @CooksBooksandFoodieLooks it's exceptional. My first time to that abbey, even though I've driven by there plenty of times.It's quite difficult to get that shot, but with a wide-angle lens and keeping the camera back as far as possible, I got a decent shot of it. 🙂
