A visit to the Drumlane Monastery is a lovely experience, as it occupies a very scenic site on the edge of a lake, just 1km from Milltown Village and 6km from the town of Belturbet, County Cavan. Many believe St. Mogue, the Bishop of Ferns, founded Drumlane Monastery in the 6th Century, though others have argued that St Columcille was the original founder. In the 12th Century, St. Mary's priory for the Augustinian canons was established here and the remains comprise a round tower, church, graveyard and fragments of a cross-inscribed stone. The property also boasts interesting stone carvings and heads throughout.Access all year. No admission charge.
