"Went there today. Lovely area. Beautiful walkways, amazing monestry. Would highly recommend for peaceful walks. Going to Sunday Mass and other religious or spiritual reasons."
"Grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Prayer Path is very spiritual experience. Church is beautiful but very cold. Wrap up well."
"A fantastic location, some lovely walks, stunning church and tower, super grounds and the collage is so well kept. The grounds were spotless and well kept, the inside of the church is truly a wonderful experience, it's so quite and the smell make it unreal. Great and secure parking, a truly great place to visit and explore, enjoy"
"Mount St Joseph's Abbey is an old Abbey, well maintained, a beautiful church standing high and proud. It boasts a lovely forest walk. A river with mini waterfalls to delight the young and old. There's also a chance to see red squirrels if you're lucky. Beautifully maintained green areas with hills for the kids to roll down. And if you want exercise you can always take a walk around the perimeter. During the summer the varying types of trees offer shade from sunshine and rain. There's a structure inside the forest but it's not for public view. As a teenager I often imagined it as a secret garden. A grotto if you're so inclined Lots of parking, amazing views. It's beautiful"
