Cross and
the surrounding area is an archaeological
and historical paradise, that has attracted
visitors for centuries.
Nearby Cong Abbey played host to scholars from all over Ireland, and was the
final residence of the last High King of Ireland, Ruairi O'Connor.
Such is the richness of archaeological artifacts, that numerous stone circles,
standing stones, cairns and churches can be explored in a couple of days.
Cross presents the ideal base to explore the spectacular Connemara landscape
or to hire a boat for trips on the beautiful Corrib lake and explore its many
islands and provide what is probably some of the best fishing in Europe.
