Grey Abbey House
Georgian mansion on the banks of Strangford Lough.
Grey Abbey, Newtownards, Co Down, BT22 2QA
Grey Abbey House specialises in hosting historical, architectural and horticultural groups and we are able to provide lunch, tea and dinner by arrangement.
Overlooking Strangford Lough on the Ards Peninsula in County Down, Northern Ireland, Grey Abbey House and its gardens benefit from a temperate climate which supports a plethora of unusual flora and fauna. The Estate also owns three islands on the Lough which are leased to The National Trust.
The ruins of a Cistercian Abbey lie adjacent to the Estate’s grounds. Church Hill, to the south of the Abbey, is believed to be one of the first landscaped parks in Ireland.
