Local Tips

Co. Down has two very different sides to it, and which one you’re heading to shapes the whole feel of the trip. The Ards Peninsula and Strangford Lough on the east coast is quieter, more rural, and full of wildlife - one of the best places in Ireland for birdwatching, particularly in autumn and winter. The north Down coast from Holywood through Bangor to Donaghadee is more urban but has a strong seaside character that’s worth leaning into.

Strangford Lough is worth planning around if you have any flexibility in your schedule. It’s a sea lough with a strong tidal flow through the narrows at Strangford village, and the surrounding area of Lecale is historically rich - Inch Abbey, Audley’s Castle, and Castle Ward are all within a short drive of each other. Castle Ward is also recognisable to fans of a certain TV series filmed in Ireland, if that’s relevant to anyone in your group.

The Mourne Mountains dominate the south of the county and are genuinely one of the most dramatic landscapes on the island. Newcastle is the main town for Mourne access, sitting right at the foot of Slieve Donard, which is the highest peak in Ulster. You can walk to the summit and back in a half day from the town centre if you’ve the legs for it.

Downpatrick is the county town and worth a stop if you’re passing through. St Patrick’s grave is in the grounds of Down Cathedral - or at least that’s the long-standing local claim - and the Down County Museum nearby gives a good account of the area’s history, including its early Christian connections, without requiring a lot of time.
