About
This event is organised by and was submitted by Friends of Columbanus Bangor
St Columbanus was a hugely influential Irish saint, whose medieval journeys have inspired the making of a modern pilgrimage trail from Leinster to Ulster and from France to Italy. His voyage from Ulster to France in 590AD saw books carried from the 'island of saints and scholars' to continental Europe for the first time. But from where exactly did Columbanus set sail?
Columbanus is firmly associated with Bangor, given his years spent as a monk at its abbey. However, dusting off the original Latin manuscripts and surveying evidence from archaeology and geography, Andrew Totten makes the case that the shores of Strangford Lough provide the missing link in the saint's story.
Parking is available in nearby car parks or on street parking which are free after 6.30pm.
