BookThe County Down region
Portaferry lies on the inner coast of the scenic Ards Pennisula. It is the gateway to Strangford Lough, as featured on BBC's recent Autumn Watch, and is a fantastic base from which to explore the nature and beautiful scenery of Ireland's premiere wildlife site. The Norman Castle in the town reflects the historic and economic importance of this strategic coastal site. There is a busy marina while the town is home to the Northen Ireland aquarium,Exploris, which boasts one of the largest sea life tanks in Europe. The maritime theme continues with the Queen’s University Marine Station and a local dive centre. These facilities draw on the natural resources of the area.
Stangford Lough is Northern Ireland’s only Marine Nature Reserve, its internationally important sealife and bird populations are renowned and the landscape of flooded drumlins has been designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There are many walks and accessible places to visit, such as the National Trust properties at Mount Stewart Gardens, or at Ballyquintin Point.
Greyabbey is not far away while beaches at Cloughy and Milisle are accessible by car. A 20 minute crossing in the car ferry will take you to the twin village of Strangford and beyond to the historic National Trust property of Castle Ward, the scenic Lecale Coast and the magnificent Mourne Mountains. A 10 minute drive from Strangford is Downpatrick which hosts St Patrick's Museum and his burial place at Down Cathedral.

we stayed in St Patrick's Hall at the start of July for my 60th Birthday Party . Friends joined us , some staying on their yacht which they could moor a few yards away in the marina . The weather that weekend was perfect. The apartment [ first floor ] was ideal for a party having a large living room just off the kitchen. The apartment is well furnished and equiped and the owner very clear and helpful in the booking arrangements and on meeting us at the start of our break . The view from the balcony is stunning --lovely to sit or stand and watch the ferry go back and forth . The bedrooms [ 3] are well furnished and comfortable --will definitely plan to return ! |
