ABBEY BOY

Bus Eireann travels to Boyle from Sligo. Those who have visited Mellifont Abbey (Louth County) will regain the austerity and severity of the Cistercian monks who built Boyle Abbey in the th century. The church is the main ruin. It keeps its long nave and, in the choir, the elevation of a square tower by impressive arcades. The three openings of the rectory are three blade blades sharp the sky and trees. The cloister, unfortunately, only remains the promenade which allows at least to admire the sequencing of the arches of the church solidly seated.
