Ardglass Road, Downpatrick, County Down, BT30 6RL
Struell Wells & Bath Houses

About

This is an early site, likely pre 1000AD, with strong associations with St. Patrick, although the buildings that you see date from much later. It was built around a stream flowing through a secluded valley. You can see a mid-18th century church, apparently never finished, likely on the site of the earlier church building or series of buildings. The waters were believed to have curative powers. The site also contains two bath houses, one for men and one for women, and two roofed wells, all fed by the stream. It was a popular place of pilgrimage from the 1600s until the 1840s. This unstaffed site can be explored at your own pace, with interpretation panels available; please note that facilities and access may be limited.
