  • Bangor Abbey
Established by Saint Comghall in 558AD, the abbey featured in the Mappa Mundi, the first map of the world. Bangor Abbey was a centre of learning which trained missionaries in the Dark Ages.
North Down Heritage Centre features exhibitions on the abbey and the sun dial outside Bangor Castle.
Little remains of the original abbey after repeated attacks by the Danes in the ninth century. The history of the Abbey is very rich, with the present Tower of the Abbey dating back to the fourteenth century.
