Family Fun…

Delamont Country Park & Action Outdoors

Delamont is an ideal family destination, offering 200 acres of walking trails on the shores of the lough. The picnic area, adventure playground and miniature railway will keep the kids amused.

It’s worth walking to the Strangford Stone, Ireland’s tallest megalith, a community project celebrating the millennium.

Action Outdoors is based in the park, and offers more than 20 activities, from abseiling to zip lines. The centre has a year-round programme of taster sessions.

Castle Ward & Clearsky Adventure Centre

Visit the National Trust’s unconventional stately home in a stunning walled estate. Clearsky is based within the grounds, and offers a huge range of activities, including archery, rock climbing, sea kayaking and mountain biking. It’s the perfect spot for a family challenge, with guaranteed memories of a real adventure.

Strangford Sea Safari & Downpatrick Golf Centre

Discover the lough and coastline on a sightseeing boat trip. Look out for seal colonies at Cloghy Rocks Nature Reserve, and marvel at the whirlpools and shipwrecks near the famous Routen Wheel on Strangford Lough.

The state-of-the-art driving range at Downpatrick Golf Centre is suitable for beginners and experienced golfers - a great way to improve your game.

Tyrella Beach

Tyrella Beach and Dune Conservation Area has miles of sand and sparkling water. The beach has a Blue Flag and Green Coast Award, meaning excellent levels of beach cleanliness, safety and water quality.

You can enjoy the beach all year round. A lifeguard service operates in the summer season.

Quoile Countryside Centre & Funky Monkeys

Quoile Countryside Centre is a stone cottage and attractive wildflower garden, with wildlife and history displays. You can walk along the River Quoile from here, and visit Quoile Castle right beside the cottage.

Funky Monkeys soft play centre is perfect for letting the under-8s work off some steam indoors, whatever the weather.

Down County Museum

Step into the past at this museum, beside Down Cathedral and Saint Patrick’s Grave. Located in the 18th century County Gaol, it tells the County Down people’s story. You’ll find hundreds of artefacts, audio-visual displays and hands-on activities to keep the whole family busy. Audio tours are available in different languages.

Downpatrick & County Down Railway & Inch Abbey

Step aboard Northern Ireland’s only full-size heritage railway, to steam through drumlin countryside, past the cathedral and alongside the River Quoile’s banks. Your destination is Inch Abbey, the fine remains of a 12th century Cistercian abbey. The railway itself has lots going on for big and little train enthusiasts. The reward for your journey is a stroll around the photogenic ruins at Inch.

Christian Heritage…

Down Cathedral, Saint Patrick’s Grave & The Saint Patrick Centre

You can walk between these Downpatrick attractions, and take in the story of Saint Patrick. The Church of Ireland cathedral stands on the site of an early monastery, on the Hill of Down, one of Ireland’s holiest places.

Saint Patrick’s Grave is in the cathedral grounds. The Saint Patrick Centre is a short walk away. It has an interactive exhibit, with a virtual helicopter ride following the journey of Ireland’s patron saint, narrated using Patrick’s own words. Why not download our Downpatrick Walking Trail from our website.

The Ark Open Farm & Happy Town

Playtime for the family here – let the kids burn off some energy at Happy Town indoor activity centre. Colourful characters, huge roller slides and climbing frames are key attractions – perfect for an indoor pitstop and relaxing moment for parents!

The Ark Open Farm is the ideal place for kids to get up close to tame, friendly animals, including cows, deer, geese, pigs and lamb. Pets Corner has plenty of small, cuddly creatures to hold or hand feed. There are pony rides, a duck pond and plenty of outdoor space for picnics and walks.

Struell Wells & Ballynoe Stone Circle

Struell Wells is a fascinating group of healing wells and bathhouses in a secluded valley. The site is first referred to in the 8th century.

Strong links to Saint Patrick’s story suggest that he blessed the wells and prayed here. It was certainly a place for pilgrims from medieval times until the 1800s. Step back to the ancient, megalithic monument at Ballynoe, where a 100-feet stone circle encloses a burial mound. The site dates to around 2000BC.

Saul Church & Slieve Patrick

Ireland’s first Christian church was at Saul, established by Saint Patrick in a local chieftain’s barn. Most likely, Saint Patrick also died here, having written his famous Confession.

The present church was built on the site of Patrick’s barn, and evidence remains of the early church in the graveyard. A huge statue of the saint greets you at the summit of Slieve Patrick. From here, you have beautiful, panoramic views over Lecale. The statue commemorates the 1500th anniversary of Patrick’s return to Ireland, and overlooks the spot where his boat landed.

Arts & crafts day out

Ards has a thriving local crafts industry and it is home to a fantastic event - the Creative Peninsula. Ards Arts Centre offers a wide-ranging programme all year round. Ards Crafts is based in the town’s Visitor Information Centre – perfect for browsing artisan craft products. Take your pick, from creative ceramics to intricate jewellery.

The area is studded with studios and galleries, so you could easily create a crafty day out with friends. Drop into one of the many studios to design your own masterpiece, or admire something made by the experts.

For an invigorating time with friends or family, visit the National Trust sites around Strangford Lough. You’ll be rewarded with breath-taking panoramic views and the sound of birdsong among beautiful scenery.

Mount Stewart House & Gardens

Mount Stewart is the neo-classical ancestral home of the Londonderry family. The gardens are exceptional, benefiting from the area’s unusual microclimate and supporting many different plants all year round.

Take a house tour, circle the lake or admire the gardens. You might even spot the elusive Red Squirrel. Walk to the Temple of the Winds for spectacular views over the lough.

Check out The Lookout, an interactive camera on a nearby island, designed for birdwatching up close.

Ballyquintin & Barhall

Discover bracing walks and fascinating birdwatching around Ballyquintin National Nature Reserve and Barhall, at the southern tip of the Ards peninsula, where you’ll spot migratory birds, waders and wildfowl. The area is part of the Strangford Lough Cycle Trail. Enjoy fine views in every direction over the lough, Mourne Mountains, Isle of Man and the Mull of Galloway.

Rowallane Garden

Perfect for a walk in the formal and informal green spaces, afternoon tea in the café or relaxation in the stunning walled garden.

This is one of the most beautiful gardens in Northern Ireland, with unusual plants, sculptures and vivid colours that change with the seasons, making it a year-round must-see.

Kearney & Knockinelder

Stroll through the charming 18th Century fishing village of Kearney or on Knockinelder’s sandy beach, on the Irish Sea coast of the Ards peninsula.

Look out for breeding birds and overwintering wildfowl on your way.

Castle Ward

Castle Ward estate extends to the edge of Strangford Lough. Miles of cycling, riding and walking trails stretch out ahead of you, all in stunning surroundings. Bike and canoe hire is on offer, if you are feeling energetic.

The Farmyard Craft Village hosts regular events and demonstrations. Enjoy plenty of family activities, and make the most of acres of open space for the kids.

The house itself looks unconventional, with different architectural styles on opposing façades – classical and gothic. Take a tour and find out why.

Down is full of activities for all interests. The following suggestions for family fun and Christian heritage each take around half a day. Build the perfect day out with friends or family by mixing it up!

Action Outdoors

Down Cathedral

Strangford Sea Safari

Scrabo, Killynether Wood & Somme Heritage Centre

Scramble up the remains of an extinct volcano at Scrabo and take in spectacular views over all of Strangford Lough from the top of the hill. Get even closer to the sky by visiting the landmark Scrabo Tower which is open to the public during the summer months! Take a stressbusting stroll through the canopy of beautiful beech trees in Killynether Wood on the slopes of Scrabo Hill.

The Somme Heritage Centre is just 10 minutes away, where you will be transported back in time. Walk through the front line trenches, look across ‘no man’s land’ with the troops, surrounded by the noise of the artillery barrage and take in military displays from both the first and second world wars.

Comber & Castle Espie

Comber is the perfect pitstop for coffee or a meal. Browse the independent boutiques in the town once you’ve refuelled. Comber has strong connections to the Titanic story – Thomas Andrews, the ship’s chief designer, was born here. Download the Comber Andrews-Titanic audio trail from iTunes to find out more.

Castle Espie Wildfowl and Wetland Centre is just outside Comber, on the edge of Strangford Lough. Take the family walking in the fresh air and feed the ducks. The centre provides fun ways to learn about wildlife and the changing seasons always bring something new to see. A full activities programme is on offer all year round.

If you have another hour or two to spare, don’t miss Nendrum Monastic Site, the ruins of an old monastery with links to Saint Patrick. It’s on a tranquil green site, overlooking the lough. Bring your camera for stunning shots of the ruins against the sky.

Donaghadee, Ballycopeland Windmill & Drumawhey Miniature Railway

Donaghadee was once Northern Ireland’s main seafaring port – its lighthouse is a local icon. The town and harbour is a great spot for roaming – work up an appetite for some great local produce in a café or restaurant.

Ballycopeland Windmill is one of Northern Ireland’s last remaining windmills, complete with sails. Its beautifully restored structure is a real magnet for visitors. A visitor centre is open here in the summer months.

Drumawhey Junction Miniature Railway is just outside Donaghadee, the perfect spot for kids to let off steam. They’ll love exploring the station, signal cabin, coach sheds and tunnels. Contact the Railway for opening hours, as times do vary.

Mount Stewart & Greyabbey

The National Trust’s Mount Stewart is famous for its neo-classical house and beautiful gardens. You’ll see an inspiring range of plants from around the world – something beautiful for every season. Mount Stewart is the Londonderry family’s ancestral home, and the National Trust run events here throughout the year.

Greyabbey village overflows with history and legend. Its lively antique trade and independent shops are well worth browsing. Take a picnic and wander among the stunning remains of Grey Abbey itself, a fine Cistercian church set in beautiful parkland near the village.

Portaferry, Windmill Hill & Strangford Lough Ferry

Portaferry marks the southern end of the Ards peninsula. There are two equally scenic routes here – drive along the Irish Sea coast or follow the inner curve of Strangford Lough. The town overlooks a channel of water known as The Narrows. This is the mouth of the lough – beautiful views over the water reveal the sheer force of local tides. Download Portaferry’s Heritage Walking Guide at www.visitstrangfordlough.co.uk and explore the area’s historic buildings. Don’t miss Exploris – the Northern Ireland Aquarium and Seal Sanctuary, where the family can learn more about marine life in the lough and Irish Sea.

Visit Windmill Hill on the edge of town for a fabulous vantage point over the lough. You might even spot Castle Ward – another National Trust property set among trees on the opposite bank. Scan the water for SeaGen – this water turbine harnesses the tidal power of the lough.

Feel the wind in your hair on the Strangford Lough ferry, crossing between Portaferry and Strangford. Watch out for local wildlife, including jellyfish and seals. Travel on foot, or bring your car and drive from Strangford through Saint Patrick’s Country in Downpatrick.
