About Graiguenamanagh
Graiguenamanagh is one of Ireland’s best kept secrets. And if that sounds like a cliché then Graiguenamanagh could be the town that prompted the cliché. The place oozes history at every corner and 2004 was a particularly significant year being the 800th anniversary of the foundation of Duiske Abbey. Duiske is the heart of Graiguenamanagh and was in its day the largest and most grand of all the 24 cistercian monasteries in Ireland.
The scenic location of Graiguenamanagh makes it an enchanting place for visitor and locals alike. The river Barrow flows right through town and is a great amenity for boating, swimming and fishing. The Blackstairs Mountains and Brandon Hill provide a majestic backdrop for the town and great stomping ground for the many hillwalkers that visit the region.
