Introducing Kells
Kells is best known for the magnificent illuminated manuscript that bears its name, and which so many visitors queue to see on their visits to Trinity College in Dublin. Generally, they don’t make the trip to where it was stashed from the end of the 9th century until 1541, when it was removed by the Church. Apart from the remnants of the monastic site that housed the Book of Kells – some interesting high crosses and a 1000-year-old round tower – there’s not a lot to see or do here.
