Rock Of Cashel | Graveyard | Kings, Queens, Saints And The Devil

- Today we visit Irelands biggest attraction, The Rock Of Cashel. We explore the graveyard and inside.
According to local legends, the Rock of Cashel originated in the Devil's Bit, a mountain 20 miles (30 km) north of Cashel when St. Patrick banished Satan from a cave, resulting in the Rock's landing in Cashel. Cashel is reputed to be the site of the conversion of the King of Munster by Saint Patrick in the 5th century.
The Rock of Cashel was the traditional seat of the kings of Munster for several hundred years prior to the Norman invasion. In 1101, the King of Munster, Muirchertach Ua Briain, donated his fortress on the Rock to the Church. The picturesque complex has a character of its own and is one of the most remarkable collections of Celtic art and medieval architecture to be found anywhere in Europe. Few remnants of the early structures survive; the majority of buildings on the current site date from the 12th and 13th centuries.
The Sarcophagus of Tadgh MacCarthy King of Desmond.
Queen Elizabeth and The Duke Of Edinburgh visited in May 2011, following in his mother's footsteps, now King Charles visited in March

I found this regarding Miler Magrath's epitaph- Miler Magrath
Patrick the glory of our isle and gown
First a bishop in the see of down
I wish that I succeeded him in place
As bishop had an equal grace
I served thee England fifty years in jars
And pleased thy princes in the midst of wars
Here where I'm placed I'm not and thus the case is
I'm not in both yet am in both the places
Thanks Kris, you know Queen Elizabeth back in the day fell in love with him. On my next video, he's mentioned again
@@SerenitySueGraveyards He sounded like an interesting fellow when I looked him up. I will add him to my list.
I found this to be most amazing and fantastically beautiful! All the etchings engraved in the stone are most astounding! Ty for the tour, this was wonderful to see.
Glad you enjoyed it
I had been there in 1981. Beautiful area of the country. Such history. Love you guys too!
Thanks Janet ❤️
What a beautiful day no clouds for filming this video. Thanks for sharing more Irish history and the birds are singing.
Glad you enjoyed it, yes we had a heat wave, such a beautiful day there
What a magnificent visit. Thank you Sure and GV♥️ I was taught in grade and high school by the Sister of Mercy and how proud they were to be an Irish order founded in Dublin by Catherine McAuley. St Patrick’s Day was the biggest feast day of the year. Those grounds are not only historic but so holy. Thanks again for the glorious day and blue skies🦋
You are most welcome Amy 🙏
Wow Sue loved every minute of this..and showing pictures of our late Queens visit was such a treat..Thankyou xxx

Oh and that tapestry was beautiful as well!
I think so too!

Absolutely stunning ! I see why its a tourist attraction. You would never get tired of the views ! Thank you for sharing !
Our pleasure! Oh it's so pretty there, so busy and lots brought a picnic and just sat around the graves, so sweet
Such an interesting place, Susan. Thanks for taking us there with you.😄

You are so welcome Becky, I've visited myself a few times but you never get tired of it, a little too busy for me that day, it was around 12 o clock and already 1200 people had been
Beautiful place and so historic, Sue. Thanks for sharing with us.
Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful day!!!! ❤❤❤
Yes it was ❤️
What a beautiful place! Thank you for the great tour!
Glad you enjoyed it toms 🥰
Thank you for showing us this beautiful place. I'd never heard of the Rock of Cashel. I was imagining how it would have looked back when it was built. Nice to see how beautifully kept it is.
Glad you enjoyed it
Wow, what a beautiful place. Thanks for the show around Sue
My pleasure 😊
Beautiful place and all the history! We never made it there on our trip to Ireland and truly regret not seeing it. A lovely tour Sue. 😊👍
Glad you enjoyed it, I hope the video showed you what it's like and made you feel like you've visited with us
Beautiful place and so were the views! You did a good job filming this to try to avoid all the tourists. 👍
Thanks Don, it sure is a beautiful place ❤️
Holey Dooley Sue! Even in its' ruined state the cathedral is still magnificent. I noticed names above the figures on that chest tomb inside, with an S before each name, possibly Saints? How on earth did the masons manage to create such ornate and beautiful stonework back then? It boggles the mind. That blown up High Cross was a sad sight, imagine the effort it would take to put it back up! Gawd....Loved this outing with you both. Thank you. Deb of Oz XXX
I knew you'd love this place, it's definitely the most beautiful place I've visited in Ireland
Sue, this place is fantastic! I am in awe of the midevel structures you gave in Ireland. How old they are! So amazing! Someday I hope I can see them for myself. 💛💚❤️
I hope you can visit some day
Was there in 2020 a magical place, in beautiful Tipperary,thanks Sue much appreciated 😊☘🇮🇪💚
Wonderful Mark, it's so beautiful there, so happy with the day, super busy but worth the views
Such an amazing amount of craftsmanship to build a near timeless wonder ... ty for the tour Sue ... & gv
Thanks William
This was a beautiful tour Sue! The carvings and the history! Thanks so much💕

Glad you enjoyed it Deborah, Cashel is absolutely amazing
What a great video Sue and a beautiful cemetery and Cathedral. For a while I thought maybe you were doing a sequel to the birds with Alfred Hitchcock with all those birds😅🤣 especially when they were swooping down on everybody. All levity aside I really enjoyed this video. Thank you again for sharing.
Haha Joel, they were so noisey too...yes it's a great place
What a beautiful place no wonder it attracts so many visitors 😍
Beautiful place x

Thanks very much, yes travel is very expensive, even as I travel throughout Ireland, it's so expensive 😫
This was lovely!! Thank you very much. Now that’s History!! ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it ❤️
Hi Sue, You mentioned the Seventh wonder...well I'm the Eight wonder! 😄🤣😂! Terrific and interesting tour!✌
You sure are Kris...if only people knew it 🤣
@@SerenitySueGraveyards 😇
Absolutely amazingly awesome!
Thank you kindly!
I love history of old buildings and churches
This one is probably the most historic place we've visited in Ireland
Another great video and a wonderful horizon.... You are so deep in your Passion. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you kindly!
I love the facts from GV!! ❤loved the video, great job
Thank you! 😄
I always wanted to go there ❤ next time I’m home definitely going 👍👍👍 I’m glad they didn’t take the high cross away and left it where it fell 🥰
Hope you can Linda, bring a picnic, it was so nice to see everyone sitting in the graveyard having food
This place is beautiful! The countryside is beautiful! Even the graveyard is beautiful! I actually thought that the graveyard would be larger than it is, considering the age of the place. Were many of the headstones 🪦 legible? This is one of your best videos, thank you very much Sue and GV. This was a great walking tour, even with the crowds.
Have a great weekend. 😊
Not many I could read Michael. I bet in winter this place gets the worst cold and rain as its so high up
Beautiful, it must have been breathtaking when it was first completed
Hey Sue, OMG I want to go there. It is so cool. It really gets a crowd. Hope you are having a great summer.
It's so beautiful, ahh I'm wrecked with the lol, how are you
What a beautiful place and the birds sure seem happy to be living there 😆
The noise of the birds lol
Another good video Sue amazing building.
Thank you kindly
Looking foward to this ,lobe to visit your side of the world some day, takes forever to get from Australia to there so I hear,
It does, around a day of travelling
Oh my goodness this is magnificent! I would love to visit there someday!! Great video, beautiful!!! ❤
This is definitely worth a visit
Just amazing. I always try and imagine what it looked like in her glory days. It’s a bummer that this place and many like it had to be ransacked. Thank you Sue for the tour of this beautiful place.
So true! It's a shame but I'm glad it's such a great tourist place, so many want to visit
Sorry Sue I did see this video and I thought I had left a comment how beautiful the Rock of Cashel was. Apparently I must not have hit the blue button arrow and my message was not saved. It was a beautiful video and thank you for showing this video. Sorry I just forgot that I had seen it and I'm looking at it now and it's bringing back all the memories of a wonderful tour you gave.
Thanks so much Joel, Cashel is breathtaking
@@SerenitySueGraveyards yes it was and one reason why I forgot was I was very sick at the time when I saw this. I had a high fever and I had been dehydrated by the heat so that's why I look silly not realizing I had seen it. So thanks I really enjoyed that tour and did really enjoy the architecture I was able to actually forget how sick I was for a while and and enjoy.
JOEL HURLEY you don't look silly at all, gosh that sounds terrible, I was sick for a week think it was a combination of heat and hay-fever too. I'm hope you're feeling better
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I am finally, thanks. My fever is gone, and feel like my old self again.
What a magnificent castle and a perfect day to show this video.
Just wondering what this castle would have looked like when it was completed I'm quite sure it was a sight to behold.
Ireland has all that history.
Thankyou sue.
Greetings from Connecticut
It's not a castle it's a cathedral but it's still very historic and beautiful like a castle especially the stonewalls.
I kept saying a castle too, probably because of the cluster of buildings together
Thanks Allan, it sure is magnificent, as you drive into Cashel town, its all you can see
Very busy place and would make a great Postcard with the blue sky surrounding the building. Love it really nice throughout 😊
Thanks so much 😊 yes the video was a bit choppy due to the tourists, trying to wait for areas to clear, so many sitting having a picnic, sure made me proud to be Irish
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Definitely and no litter around especially with loads of people. As a child me and my brother's were taught to put rubbish in our pockets till we got home. And I still very much do that today 😇
Very cool thanks
Thanks Tracy ❤️
Going to be interesting!
Thanks Liz ❤️
Thank you so much this was so interesting I enjoyed it so much. I just love the history you bring us of the places you bring us God Bless . 🙏❤
Glad you enjoyed it Judy, it sure was a pleasure to stand here
As a handspinner, I was fascinated by the coat of arms at 17:43 - the lower left quadrant looks a lot like a hand holding a top whorl spindle! Not sure that is actually what it is, but I've never seen that on a coat of arms before.
Wow, that sounds amazing, I wonder if it is
Goodmorning Sue..keep safe..miss you😘😘😘
Good morning! How are you
@@SerenitySueGraveyards im ok..ms sue😉😉😉
Great to hear
@@SerenitySueGraveyards thanks☺☺☺
What a beautiful place.
It really is! So busy though, which is great to see but I prefer peace lol
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Yep gimme peace any day
Going to just put this on loop for the night & pretend I am back home. Thank you so much lads. xx
Our pleasure! no place like home Fran x x
Any hopes of The High Cross being able to be repaired? The weather was spectacular for you and Grave Visitations. And those views are stunning. Ireland is truly gorgeous.
I don't think it will be at this stage, maybe they are afraid lightening will strike twice
💎🍀💎thank you Sue
Love the history you share.
✌🏼🇺🇸
Thanks Nancy x
Lovely location😊
Thanks Tina ❤️
We were there last September! It was beautiful!
It's amazing, Cashel it self is very beautiful too, glad you enjoyed it
Thank u this is real nice and kelp up
Hi Tina, this is so beautiful here
@@SerenitySueGraveyards thank you 😊 😊😊😊😊
What a awesome video. I loved the church. ❤❤❤
Thanks so much 🙏
Great tour by yourselves,great to see Ollie out with you learning ,amazing how they built the cathedrals and abbeys with what tools they had.
Thanks again,safe travels,take care,god bless from ballarat in Oz,👋👋🙏🙏👍🇦🇺
Glad you enjoyed it Peter, yes Olly was with us but a little too warm for him I think lol, all he wanted was ice cream haha
@@SerenitySueGraveyards that makes two of us think I’ll have some now yeeeyum.god bless.
It was perfect did a great job its a beautiful place
Thank you
Thanks for this vid and timely as I just added this location to one of the trips while there a month from now.
Wow, that's so cool Sonny, yes definitely visit its 8 euro per adult but I'd probably advise the tour as that will get you into cormacs chapel too
Great video I love that place thank you for doing this video
Glad you enjoyed it Jamie, definitely one of the best places to see around here
Wow
It certainly is Gail x
Just Awesome!❤️
Thank you! 🙂
Edguy-Rock of Cashel great record to listen to. It's on UA-cam 🤘
Thanks Grey x
@@SerenitySueGraveyards Have you found Edguy tune ? Even Morty would appreciate this one 💀🤘
Beautiful place but what a sad thing the cross is broke
It is beautiful Hazel, yrs ots a pity, not sure why it was never fixed
Such a beautiful view!
Sure is CMN
my mum was a feehan from cashel im applying for my irsis passport right now and hope to visit cashel this summer
I hope you get to visit, it's absolutely beautiful
I'm guessing the blue stone from Afghanistan was Lapis Lazuli. Great post.
Thank you ❤️
I have been here several times and it is a lovely place. Hore Abbey below is nice to visit as well. I wonder why some of these stones are not cleaned. The moss and lichen will damage them to the point of never being able to read them again. It would be nice to have the cross from the mausoleum restored as well. What are your thoughts Sue? Are there records of who all is buried at this location?
Hi Timothy, we had hoped to go to Hore Abbey but the heat and hay-fever won lol. They are not allowed to clean stones as far as I know it's down to family and if no family they have to be able to prove it etc it's a hard one to get done. Not sure about the highcross, it's sitting there now over 40 years, so I doubt anything will ever be done
@@SerenitySueGraveyards it’s sad no repairs or cleaning. Lots of stones here cleaned using D2. It’s used here to clean Military Veteran’s headstones. You should Google cleaning headstones with D2. It’s very interesting. Would be so nice to see that cross repaired and replaced. It seems to pretty to just let it lie and rot.
I've seen D2 cleaning methods, can't even buy it here
The chapel is it? Love the ceiling
Maybe ground lapis lazuli for the blue pigment
Thanks
💥❤️💥
Thanks Rebecca ❤️
It would be fantastic to get the high cross restored
It really would
When visiting some years ago i noticed a Royal Artillery gravestone. Any history here?
Lots of history there
I think I was there as a kid but don't remember much about it intresting tho
Thank you Colette
Thank you for this beautiful place ❤
A question. Since this is an important place, why would they not want to fix the cross?
Rapunzel could be in the upper room of that tower 😉
Good question!, I'm not sure to be honest, maybe they are afraid of lightning striking twice
@@SerenitySueGraveyards aaaahhh superstition, that old Irish trait I forgot about and most likely the very cause of my OCD 😂😂
@@SerenitySueGraveyards I’m genuinely kidding. Kinda 😉
❤️☘️
Thanks NANA ❤️
Gosh, I thought death was a great equalizer. Guess not! Don’t think God would be thrilled with that. Beautiful day & beautiful place!
Thanks Cheryl, it was roasting that day
Hey Sue. I have a question. Will you ever take us to your relatives graves and maybe your great grandparents graves?? Just asking
Maybe I will x
I was told that they were the shape of Cromwell's cannon balls it later found out that they were the remains of old scaffolding
Oh
Well guys hope you're well today you're after mentioning The Devils Bit and the piece of the hill which is missing supposedly taken out by the Devil the story goes that he spat it out and it landed in Ardmore co waterford .
Yes John, it actually looks like someone or so.ething took a bite
Have you heard of the conspiracy of 1000 years added to our timeline? That an I or J before the year really means 574 years after Jesus (I574 or j574) ? Do you see many j’s or i’s in place of the 1?
I have seen the J at times on older headstones, now you say it
Search for 1000 years added to our timeline and watch one of the higher viewed videos, it’s a pretty interesting theory!
I will
Who’s in the sarcophagus?
It's said that Tadgh MacCarthy, (he was King of Desmond) owned the sarcophagus
The church is like an apartment building for birdies. I wonder what the holes were originally for?
Not sure Ben
