Temple Michael is an ancient site, located on the banks of the River Blackwater, near where it empties into the sea at Youghal. One has a definite sense of history when you visit the beautiful site of the monastery and church. We again visited that wonderfully area of quiet and solitude in April, 2004. Here are the photos of our visit.

Temple Michael,

Your beauty and solitude

Calls to us to wonder.

Why are you here?

Is it to tell us of the past?
