    Very peaceful location with lovely views. Fabulous old abbey and graveyard very well maintained. Up a VERY narrow road but definitely worth a visit. Some extremely old headstones, oldest I could read was 1746.

    Really nice remains of a 6th century abbey and a 10th century round tower with a few relatively well preserved original features. The location by the lake is outstanding, and also unexpected when coming up the hill.

    A ruined monastery with broken round tower picturesquely located near a lake in Cavan. The monastery is said to have been founded by St Columba in the 6th Century. The present church building dates to perhaps the 12th Century. The Round Tower was built with a wider circumference than many other monastic round towers, and the lower levels are built with carefully dressed stone. The monastery was used an Anglican church until 1821 at which point the monastery was abandoned. There are many graves surrounding the site, and one contemporary grave incongruously placed within the monastery itself. Some of these graves are of historical interest, but the graveyard is still very much used by the local community.

    Lovely peaceful, historic site, beautiful views and very peaceful. Was only person there when visiting. Road to it was very narrow. Modern grave yard also adjacent. Seemed to be plenty of parking, which contadicts previous reviews.

    Wonderful site with views of the surrounding lakes and fields, old Abby building and graves. Well maintained area with parking, walking path and access to the Abbey and graveyard.

    I love the serenity I feel each time I visit Drumlane Abbey. This place is special, as are all of the ruins that still exist on our wee island. Thanks to the tireless and often thankless job of those who protect and preserve these great treasures. You are all great patriots.
