Crossraguel Abbey
Founded in the early 13th century by the Earl of Carrick the remains include the church, cloister, chapter house and much of the domestic premises. The early form of the abbey's name suggests it meant the Cross of Riaghail and referred to a great standing Cross.
Most of the site is accessible. The curved, narrow entrance to the sacristy and steep, winding stairs leading to the gatehouse make these areas unsuitable for visitors with limited mobility. All parts of the grounds are accessible to visitors using wheelchairs.
