Glenluce Abbey
Please note that due to staff shortages the above site will be unmanned until further notice and so only the grounds will be accessible, but only until 16.30 when the gates will be locked for the evening.
The Chapterhouse and other buildings will be locked at all times until further notice.
This is in addition to any normal closures at this time of year.
A Cistercian abbey founded around 1192. The remains, including a handsome early 16th century chapter house, are set in a lovely tranquil valley. An exhibition of objects found at the abbey is on display at the site. Commended.
There is easy access to the museum. Grassed areas in and around the abbey are reasonable except in very wet weather. Two small steps lead to the cloister, which is surrounded by a gravel path. Wheelchair access to the chapter house is not possible.
There are disabled spaces available close to steward's office and museum.
