May 06 - Hailes Abbey

Visited the ruins of Hailes Abbey with friends (Dawn and Gavin) today.
It was sunny and warm enough for the first picnic of the year.
Then it was off for a hike up and over the hill to burn off lunch, or work-up an appetite the curry later tonight.

Had to lie down for a bit and get a picture of the little white flowers in the hedgerow.
This had nothing to do with the exercise, the food, or the single, small bottle of beer at the picnic.

Lovely peaceful scene. Love the enormous tree there.

Beautiful scene and sounds like the perfect day?
Was it a cistercian abbey by any chance - the ruins are like old Mellifont Abbey not far from here?

Nice capture Brian. After visiting we usually walk up the hill to the cafe and farm-shop.
