The Beautiful Tree Transforming This Abandoned Place Into A Secret Garden, Ireland.
This is Muckross Abbey in Killarney. "Take the yew that grows in the cloisters of Muckross Abbey near Killarney.
It’s always assumed that the tree was planted by the Franciscans when they built the abbey in 1448, giving it an age of over 550 years. It’s much more likely the abbey was built around a tree that was already mature and well-established, making this tree a lot older. There’s plenty of evidence that in earlier times ecclesiastical sites were chosen on the basis that an old yew tree grew there."
