It was the great Enda of Aran who put the place on the map. Enda recognised the beauty of the place and he set about building a monastery there. It offered the perfect place for the monks to settle as it had peace, safety and tranquility that could not be matched. In our modern times you‘ll more likely see rock climbers, bird watchers and the fans of the show Father Ted on a pilgrimage to see scenes where the cult sitcom was filmed. It is both a lively and quiet place full of colour and contrast.
