Visit Us

Pilgrims and Visitors have been visiting Drumcliffe for over 1,500 years. Many come to see the final resting place of W.B. Yeats, but usually leave with a love for the place and its history.

Our church building has thankfully reopened, and we are delighted to be receiving visitors from all over the world once again. You are very welcome to come and be inspired by the peace and tranquillity of this place but ask that you are respectful of those attending graves or partaking in services.

Currently admission to the church and churchyard is free for visitors although there is a small charge per visitor for organised tour groups. If you would like to bring your tour group we ask kindly that you book in advance here.

Please note any guides wishing to give their own explanatory talks within the church building must be licenced by the DCTD. Applications can be made via our contact us page.
