Killydonnell Friary

A hidden historical gem situated by the shore of the river Swilly

I felt peace and timelessness when entering the Killydonnell Franciscan friary, a hidden historical gem situated by the shore of the river Swilly. My imagination kicked in immediately upon entering the ruins, and I started dreaming about magical creatures once guarding that holy place.

The old headstones have different shapes and decor, some of which feel old, very old. The plants played a vital role in the decoration of the ancient ruins. I was amazed when I entered the building and saw all the different headstones deformed from the time. There are big windows from which you can see the Swilly river. You also can get a fantastic Swilly River view from the small parking in front of the Killydonnell Franciscan friary.
