The Celtic Prayer Garden is a six-acre site laid out in the shape of the island of Ireland which depicts the lives of the major saints of Ireland’s Golden Age (5th to 12th Century).Individuals and groups can tour the garden, enjoy its wonderful peace and natural beauty and learn more about our common Celtic Christian heritage. It is a place of incredible peace and natural beauty which affords the pilgrim time and space away from today’s hectic pace of life.

Using the Guide/Prayer Book the pilgrim will visit:
• The dry-stone cell of St Columba (Colmcille)
• St Canice’s straw-bale Oratory
• The bird sanctuary of St Ciaran
• The cave of Columbanus
• The Trinity Circle with its magnificent bronze statue of the Risen Christ.

Facilitated retreat days for schools, community or church groups are also available by contacting the Programme Co-ordinator at the centre in advance. For group bookings, prior notification of numbers is essential.

Having been spiritually refreshed in the garden, the cafe and shop at the Visitor Centre provides beverages, snacks, organic vegetable produce and a gift shop.

Opening times: Monday to Friday 9 am - 5 pm, Saturday and Sunday 2 pm - 5 pm.
Admission: Guide/Prayer Book €5.00.
