    Share Share Post
    When St Columba was leaving Derry to go to Scotland he sailed down the Foyle and then saw Cooley monastery on the hill. He came ashore and went up to Cooley on a visit. The place he landed shows his miraculous powers. A spring came out of the rocks.
    It runs clear spring water summer and winter and is one of the sources of spring water in Moville apart from the ordinary pipe water.
