A sense of peace washes over you as you stroll along the winding paths, adorned with vibrant flowers and lush greenery. Discover ancient Celtic Saints and intricate stone carvings that evoke a connection to the rich heritage of Ireland.

Take a moment to pause at the calming water features and reflective ponds, allowing the soothing sounds to transport you to a state of inner calm. Whether you seek solace, inspiration, or simply a moment of respite, the Celtic Prayer Garden offers a sacred space to connect with nature and nurture your spirit.

The IOSAS (Island Of Saints And Scholars) Centre is the Visitor Centre for the Celtic Prayer Garden. The Peace Garden has a two-fold purpose: To honour the men and women of Ireland’s Golden Age and thus glorify God, and to renew interest in the characteristics of Celtic Spirituality.

It is a “thin place” beloved of the Celts who believed that in such a place heaven and earth are closely connected, and it invites us to reflect on our common Christian heritage

The Centre contains a cafe, gift shop, and workspace for groups and is home to WHITE OAKS ACORN PROJECT our organic vegetable produce scheme. It is available for school and group retreats and reflection days

You can find the centre close to the main Burnfoot to Muff road, There are signposts for it on this road. It is very close to Wild Ireland animal sanctuary.
