Templepatrick Graveyard, Ballyvester

A small graveyard on the coast in the townland of Miller Hill, parish of Donaghadee.

It is located on the seaward side of the road from Donaghadee to Millisle, one mile north of the latter. There is no trace of a church but there was a well on the seaward side of the graveyard known as St Patrick's well and there is a tradition that St Patrick once landed here. Most of the graves date from the 18th and 19th centuries but the earliest recorded dates from 1678.
