  • It’s old, the round tower was built to protect monks from the Vikings in the 9th and 10th centuries
  • Johnny Cash purportedly was standing on The Rock when he wrote “40 Shades of Green”
  • It used to have just a little church, then someone else came along and built a bigger church on top of it
  • There was a guard dogtside the entrance
