A Franciscan friary and retreat house on the wooded Ards peninsula, with quiet coastal paths and views across the bay towards Doe Castle.
Ards Friary is a Franciscan retreat house on the wooded Ards peninsula, with grounds that open onto quiet coastal paths.
The walk along the shore below the friary looks across the bay to Doe Castle, and it is one of the most peaceful spots in the area. A good short outing to combine with a visit to the forest park next door.
