Greyabbey: Abbey Ruins, Antiques & the Lough Shore

A short walk through a Cistercian ruin founded by a Norman queen, past a Victorian parish church and Georgian estate gates, down antique-shop-lined Main Street to where the village meets Strangford Lough. Barely a kilometre end to end, it links eight centuries of monastic, estate and maritime history on the Ards Peninsula. Looking for things to do in Greyabbey?
