Explore the Abbey Grounds
The ‘themed’ landscaped grounds of the Abbey reflect the various events in the life of Christ as depicted through the Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful and Glorious mysteries of the rosary.
The themes can be explored in their totality or individually, e.g. Elizabeth’s house, The Tomb, The Nativity, The Church of the Annunciation, Sean a’ Sagart Tree, the East Windows etc. The very ruins themselves are integrated into the Good News story – ‘the greatest story ever told’.
