Grey Abbey, My Walk Round

Over the years I have filmed Grey Abbey monastery at Greyabbey on the Ards Peninsula quite a number of times. This video is a compilation of these videos. In 1193 Affreca, wife of Norman knight, adventurer, John de Courcy, instructed that work was to commence on the building of a Cistercian Abbey at Greyabbey in County Down. It is believed that Affreca founded the abbey to give thanks for a safe landing after a perilous sea journey. When completed, the Abbey was known as Iugem Dei or the “Yoke of God”. It is believed the abbey and subsequently the village eventually became commonly know as Grey Abbey due to the unbleached colour of the monks’ greyish-white habits. This historic building remains one of Ireland’s most impressive examples of early gothic architecture. ‘Friends of the Abbey’ was formed in 2015 and assists the DfC to keep our historic Abbey & Physic Garden open for the public to enjoy. Our volunteers offer information and guided tours which are complemented by an interactive exhibition centre offering information on how the Abbey was built, the monks’ life and their impact on the surrounding area. The excellent Exhibition Centre is open at: February to November Monday – Thursday by appointment. Saturday – 1pm – 4pm Sunday – 1:30pm – 4pm December to January by appointment. Guided Tours Guided tours every 1st & 3rd Sunday – June, July & August at 2:30pm or by appointment. Access to the Historic grounds and Exhibition Centre is free to all.
