Mount St. Joseph Abbey belongs to the Trappist branch of Cistercian monks and was only founded as recent as 1878. There is a Cistercian private boys boarding school located within the abbey grounds now. The grounds, abbey and its associated church are simply beautiful. The abbey grounds cover some thirty acres of sports fields, woodland and other open fields. They are freely available for visitors to wander round. There’s a small parking area close to the church and you can walk through the nearby woodland where you will find a delightful stream.
