Crawfordsburn Beach

Reviewed By Anto_L69 - Bangor, United Kingdom

One of several great beaches in the area. Backs onto the wonderful Crawfordsburn Country Park with many walks, ample parking, public toilets and a cafe. The beach sits on the North Down Coastal Path which provides a beautiful walk from Hollywood to Bangor. There is a massive green area for families to picnic and BBQ and on warm days there's usually an ice cream van there.

Island Hill & North Strangford Nature Reserve

Reviewed By james_m186470 - Belfast, United Kingdom

Just about 1km outside Comber, County Down on the road to Newtownards turn right -it's signposted-just keep going but take care-road narrows! at end good parking + toilets. Take in the peace of this view-relax, look and listen-your pulse will slow and your bp will fall-great place for a relaxing picnic-gulls help to clear up!-Walk along the causeway-check tide times for Comber on line just in case!-the island is called Rough Island and the walk round it's easy-about 15 mins-it's actually a Neolithic settlement from 5000 years ago-vikings raided this coast hence the name of the lough-Strangford-the strang fiord-very strong currents at mouth of lough-you can find flint arrowheads on the beach here-great place for dogs-or flying kites!-birdwatchers paradise-if picnics aren't you eat in Comber-The Georgian House in the Square is good for lunch-anyway enjoy your visit and come back again-James Myers
