Local places.
A clearer picture.
County collections include places near their towns and villages, sometimes across a boundary. Each place counts once in the national collection.
How MyMap worksHow many abbeys are there in Ireland?
OpenStreetMap records 75 in the Republic, across 23 counties. That is how many the map has, which is not the same as how many there are: anything nobody has mapped is missing, and anyone can add it.
Which county has the most abbeys?
Galway, with 19, then Tipperary with 13.
Do the county figures add up to 75?
No, and they are not meant to. A abbey belongs to every settlement within twelve kilometres of it, so one near a county line is counted in both counties: 34 of them are. The figure in the heading counts each record once.
Which town has the most abbeys near it?
Boherlahan in County Tipperary, with 5 within twelve kilometres. That is what is near the town, not what is inside it.
Where does this come from?
The places and counts in this directory are based on OpenStreetMap records. Of 75 records in this category, 3 include opening hours, 0 include a phone number and 4 include a website. Individual place pages may add sourced visiting information. Check the venue for current details.
