    Monumental ruin of a 14th-century Franciscan friary on an older site of St. Molaga, at the mouth of the Argideen River. The Gothic windows, cloister garth and tower form an impressive silhouette against Courtmacsherry Bay. Freely accessible as a quiet, historical viewing stop in the village of Timoleague.

    The picturesque surroundings offer an excellent opportunity for a bike ride.

    Timoleague Abbey is a ruined medieval monastery located on the West Cork coast. The journey there takes you through scenic West Cork countryside and offers stunning views of the surrounding mountains, sea and beaches.

    The tour is ideal for cyclists of all levels. There are many roads that criss-cross the countryside and it's easy to find a route that suits your ability and preference. There are also many opportunities to pause and enjoy the surroundings along the way.
