The County Down region
County 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.
Groomsport area
Few coastal villages in Ireland can compare with Groomsport for scenic charm, tranquil beauty and historical heritage.
The heroic attempt of the 'Eagle Wing' the first ship to set sail for the New World to establish the first settlement of Ulster-Scots is commemorated in the village's annual Eagle Wing Festival in July, a lively three-day celebration of the considerable contribution made by Ulster folk to the American way of life.
Nowadays, caravanners and trippers are attracted by the beautifully landscaped picnic and play areas around the harbour, the sandy beaches, quality pubs, restaurants and the picture-postcard beauty of the place. The village, with a population of approximately 3,000, has a recreation ground with 2 football pitches, also a village hall situated in the historic boathouse at the harbour which dates back to 1884. A bus service links the village with Bangor which is only a few miles away.
Groomsport is a popular holiday spot with a number of caravan parks situated around the village. It also boasts a very active sailing club (Cockle Island Boat Club).
A new attraction for the visitor in Groomsport is Cockle Row, the old fishermen's thatched cottages which were officially opened in May 1997 after four months of complete refurbishment. The cottages have not lost their original charm with the heritage cottage depicting what Cockle Row would have been like around 1910. A lot of time and effort went into sourcing interior fittings and an exhibition of old photographs of Groomsport provides visitors with a time to reminisce. The second cottage is now a Tourist Information Centre and provides tourists and locals alike with information of places to visit accommodation and events in Northern Ireland. The cottage also sells a selection of crafts which are sourced almost entirely from the North Down area. Be sure not to miss the craft demonstrations every Sunday during July and August.
