  1. The approach to Clonmacnoise is made by what is still known as "the pilgrim's road". Numerous were the pilgrims that passed that way from the four provinces of Ireland and from Britain, when St. Ciaran's school by the Shannon was a centre of European culture and the first of the celebrated schools of Ireland. Amongst them was Alcuin who assisted Charlemagne in the foundation of his school.
