A bit overgrown and hard to get up the path if you need any mobility aids. It is a beautiful view though and with the trip.

There's a real sense of tranquillity here, jutting out into Strangford Lough and mostly surrounded by water. The drive out is worth taking slowly, and the views are wonderful. You get a feel for what it might have been like living here in centuries past. But, don't tell anyone, I'd like to keep it to myself.There is free parking at the site.

Kinda cool for the age and history but only one or two signs with any info and all overgrown with thick grass. Mainly used for people walking dogs off leash

This place is a hidden gem. You get to travel through some beautiful countryside to get there and when you do... Wow. This is one of my favourite places to visit. The place is steeped in history and the location is just so peaceful and beautiful. There is a little museum there, tucked away in the trees and bushes, which is also well worth a visit. Go and see one of the many beautiful places this country has to offer.

This is a remarkable and historic site in a setting of great natural beauty. You can really feel the presence of the religious communities that lived here. There is an excellent exhibition of the history of the site, but check for opening times before you go if you want to see it. Otherwise, there are good information panels round the site. The Celtic Christians put their monasteries in beautiful but inaccessible places, and it is still not easy to get to along narrow and twisty country roads. May not be suitable for large vehicles such as motor homes, though I have been there in a coach before. Parking is also quite limited. If you are visiting, please respect the natural and spiritual serenity of the site.
