"Moyne abbey is a hidden gem just outside killala in mayo. It nestles into the history of the new lands up a pathway. It's worth it though as it's history among the stone walls is fascinating. It has an 18th century tomb on its walls. Allow up to 1.5hrs to visit as it's expansive. I was blown away by its history."
"Ignore the grumpy signs - the public has access to this site, just don’t bring a dog or other animals. There are stairs and a short access road through a working farm, and then you reach the abbey which is an absolute treasure - huge, beautiful, haunting, and (at least when we visited) completely empty except for us and the crows. Honestly surprised this isn’t a bigger draw - one of the best sites we have visited in our time in Mayo. Would hope the County could sort something out with the neighbor so he stops (illegitimately) scaring people off one of the great sites of North Mayo."
"Really cool place to see. It's a pretty big Abbey and very well kept all around it. A small stream runs through the Abbey and into the River Moy which is only a stones throw away from the Abbey itself. Unfortunately you can't climb the tower in the Abbey as there is a locked gate preventing you from doing so. You have to walk through a farm to get to the Abbey but it is still very easy get to. If the day is anyways wet you would be better to bring boots or wellingtons with you."
"Amazing place,really impressive as a spectacle but also full of history and wonder. A must visit if in the area. Just watch the grumpy young bull."
"Absolutely beautiful, off the beaten track National Monument. It is a bit out of the way but so worth visiting. We were the only people there when we visiting, it is not touristy at all. Ignore the private property signs and walk over the wall (there are steps next to the gate) past the farmer's house to the beautiful Abbey. Wander around the different rooms and levels, it is magnificent!"
