Abbeyfeale

Twelve miles south-west of Newcastle West is the market town of Abbeyfeale, on the River Feale in hilly country near the border of counties Limerick and Kerry. There is fishing in the Feale, much of it free, for salmon, sea trout and brown trout. The town was named after a Cistercian abbey founded here in the twelfth century by Brian O' Brien; the present Catholic church incorporates part of the abbey structure.
