Bective Abbey is a small abbey founded in 1147 by King Murchad of Meath for the Cistercians, now in ruins found in a farmer's field in County Meath, not far from Dublin. Some day tours out of Dublin will include it. If you have a car, the area makes a fine driving destination. You can find out more about visiting the Abbey at Betive Abbey - County Meath.

So, all I can say is: here are the pictures. I hope you enjoy them.
