The County Down region
Down is remarkable for its many low, beautifully cultivated hills. However, in south County Down, the rugged Mountains of Mourne, formed from stark granite, offer a striking contrast to this arable land. Here, Slieve Donard rises to a height of 848 metres. Slieve Croob tops another group of hills in the centre of County Down.
To the east, the Ards Peninsula forms a barrier between the sea and an almost land-locked Strangford Lough. With a history spanning 7000 years, County Down has many important archaeological sites and ancient monuments, together with attractions for the sportsman, the climber and the walker.
Ballywalter area
The cottage is located right on the sea shore perfect for long walks, rock pooling and swimming in the summer months! You can walk along the beach to the nearest village Ballywalter approx 1.5 miles. The village has very good basic shopping, spar, butcher, bakery, post office and atm facilities. There is also a small harbour in the village like many of the nearby villages dotted along the coast, including the working fishing port of Portavogie 5 miles away. Convenient to Greyabbey village with its antique, craft and coffee shops 3 miles away. Portaferry's Exploris Aquarium and Castle Ward National Trust property are approx 11 miles away. Mount Stewart's world renowned National Trust house and garden within 3 miles of the cottage. There are five 18 hole golf courses within an 8 mile radius of the cottage. There are also many top restaurants and pubs in the area including Paul Arthur's restaurant which is in the Bridgestone guide 2005. Northern Ireland's thriving capital city - Belfast - is within 25 miles of the cottage. This list is by no means exhaustive - there are many other attractions in the locality.
