点评:We drove up and entered right around opening. We had to pay for parking. The only bathrooms were located here as an FYI.
The walk up was not difficult for us just at an incline.
With our Heritage Card we gained free admission and did the self tour. Unfortunately the guided tour of the chapel wasn’t until late morning so we could not see it due to our schedule. The chapel undergoes some type of special UV application as a means to conserve the remaining 12th century wall paintings. Only a limited number of people can visit per day.
The original St Patrick’s cross had been moved to one of the buildings for preservation but that room was under renovation so wasn’t accessible.
We settled for the panoramic views of the countryside which was beautiful on the sunny, clear day. The cavernous ruins were quite nice to walk around and we came across some very faint wall paintings on the wall behind the chapel. A taste of what we missed inside the chapel.
翻译:我们开车上去,刚好在教堂开幕时就进去了。停车要付费。顺便说一下,唯一的卫生间就在这里。
上去对我们来说并不费力,只是有点坡。
凭借我们的遗产卡,我们免费入场,并进行了自助游览。可惜的是,教堂的导览游要到上午晚些时候才开始,所以我们因为时间安排没能进去参观。教堂经过某种特殊的紫外线处理,以保护现存的12世纪壁画。每天只有有限数量的参观者可以进入。
原来的圣帕特里克十字架已被移到其中一栋建筑内进行保护,但那间房间正在翻修,所以无法进入。
我们选择了欣赏乡村的全景,在阳光明媚、晴朗的日子里,景色美极了。在巨大的废墟中漫步非常惬意,我们还在教堂后面的墙上看到了一些非常模糊的壁画。这让我们领略了教堂内部的魅力。
