Medieval bridge and gate arches at entrance to Athassel Priory, County Tipperary, Ireland. An extensive library of imagery from Athassel is available in my Athassel Priory Gallery.

The largest medieval priory in Ireland, Athassel Priory ruins cover a 4 acres. Athassel was founded by the Augustinians under William de Burgh in the 12th century. The priory saw ongoing construction over the next 300 years. It was burnt twice, once in 1329 by Brian King of Thomond and again in 1581 by John Fitzgerald of Desmond. A large town had grown up around the priory but was destroyed during the two raids. The Priory was finally dissolved in 1537 and the lands given to Thomas Butler, 10th Earl of Ormond who neglected the abbey and it subsequently fell into ruin.

Travel-inspired (mostly) Fine Art & Photography published by the likes of Fodors, Travel+Leisure, Southern Living, Smithsonian, Forbes & TIME. I also use my images as source material to create digital art. We travel to places not just to see them, but to experience them. I take pictures to help me remember my experiences. My hope is that my imagery inspires experiential travel to places you might not have called on yet, or, if you have, helps you remember your own experiences. Thanks much for stopping by.
