点评:We only stumbled upon Jerpoint Abbey on our drive from Mount Juliet Estate (lodging now part of the Marriott group, golf, equestrian) to the small town of Instioge. I'm very glad we took the route passing Jerpoint Abbey, and that we stopped. The ruins were fascinating, and the staff here were excellent in their explanation & education of the site, its history, etc. Very friendly and eager to help. We were here for probably an hour, and could have stayed longer just walking the grounds, contemplating the history that has taken place here and around the area, and capturing some great photographs of this magnificent compound, some of which has been there for 900+ years. Definitely take an official tour, or at least have a chat with one of the docents on site so you can really learn about the history of the site and what sort of things have been taking place here over those many hundreds of years.
