A ruined monastic settlement on the river running to the sea. Not much remains of the monastery, and the graveyard that surrounds it has risen the level of the ground so high that the cloister windows are now half buried. But it is a calmly picturesque place. It is free to enter and gives great views of the ruins and the river.

A great place to explore with lovely views of the coast👌. The history behind this abbey is significant and intertwined with the story of the town. Plenty of parking spaces and good access

Haunting relics of a Franciscan Abbey at the mouth of the River Eske. The Abbey is a short walk along the riverside from the centre of Donegal. Definitely worth seeing.

Orient yourself using the small map on a brick pillar in the centre of the ruins and then it begins to make sense. You can easily identify the church and the cloister and a couple of other side chapels. It's in a beautiful location right on the shores of Donegal Bay. It's been used as a graveyard so you need to pick your...

There's not a whole pile to see in Donegal Town but this Abbey and Graveyard is well maintained and a lovely piece of history. Clearly a large Abbey going by the remaining footprint. Fine for those who like a wander through such things looking at the names of...
