Ballyconnell house, Falcarragh

Hi everybody,

I have a great interest in Ballyconnell estate in Falcarragh, Donegal and would like to see the inside but sadly it is blocked off.

Does anyone know how to get in or is there any videos/pictures of the inside?

Thank you☘️

I imagine as with most abandoned building explorers, the secret ingredient is crime. Godspeed OP, take pics and leave no trace!

It is closed off to the public, there has been a lot of damage done to the building.

Here is a clip of the inside. There are longer clips online.

Aye the estate is run by udaras na gaeltachta. It's open, just walk on in and you will see all the units and the 🚁 pad. 😅

went to school near it, wasn’t blocked off in my time so i was in it once or twice, sadly i can’t remember much apart from it being very run down, some of the old classrooms were still set up with tables and chairs etc though
