Ben Robinson unearths the ancient past of Greyabbey, a small village on Northern Ireland’s beautiful Strangford Lough. The village name comes from Grey Abbey, its Cistercian abbey-monastery. This is a story of life from the sea – of the moneymaking kelp industry and ingenious methods of catching fish.

The village has some of the most impressive archaeological remains in Northern Ireland, including a Neolithic boat that predates the Pyramids and stone fish traps that are almost 1,000 years old.
