Rathfran Abbey

TIME : 2016/2/18 22:16:26

The silence at the remains of this lonely Dominican friary, dating from 1274, is broken only by the cawing of crows and the whistling wind off the water. In 1590 the friary was burned by the English.

Take the R314 road north out of Killala and, after 5km and crossing the River Cloonaghmore, turn right. After another 2km turn right at the crossroads.
