Sweetheart Abbey

historical place from the 13th century worth seeing. Located in a quiet, picturesque village. Unfortunately, due to the risk of the walls collapsing, the area is fenced and you can no longer go inside. Free parking, right next to it you can drink coffee and eat lunch.

When we arrived it was fenced off with work being carried out. Would have been nice if google could mention it was only part open. Ticket office closed but the building itself was stunning

When I visited the Abbey it was all fenced off Due to refurbishment taking place. However you can still walk all around the outside and see it from all angles. There is also a walking trail at the back of the cemetery with a stream at the bottom of the field so perfect if you have children or dogs that love water! Also a free car park and toilets.

Beautiful Abbey (Ruins) with an extremely romantic story. Currently under repair so some scaffolding in place. Lovely architecture and a huge building…must have been quite a statement in its time!…well kept cemetery adjacent to the Abbey. Information boards to tell its story. Free parking spaces available for visitors - disabled parking spaces also available. Public toilets in car park - full disability access throughout.

Beautiful place. The Abbey has a graveyard with some interesting reading on the head stones. It really does show how hard life was in the 1700s and early 1800s. Children died young and sometimes multiple from the same family. It also shows soldiers that died in Londonderry around 1799. The Abbey itself shows strength in its ruins. Anything wooden is gone. The structure is not only sturdy but has a natural beauty of hand crafted window frames and archways. It's worth a visit.
