Mount Stewart is one of the most inspiring and unusual gardens in the National Trust's ownership. The garden reflects a rich tapestry of design and great planting artistry that was the hallmark of Edith, Lady Londonderry. The mild climate of Strangford Lough allows astonishing levels of planting experimentation. The formal areas exude a strong Mediterranean feel and resemble an Italian villa landscape; the wooded areas support a range of plants from all corners of the world, ensuring something to see whatever the season. Mount Stewart House re-opened after our 3 year long restoration project. We've brought back the elegance and charm of the house when it was home of the 7th Marchioness Edith, Lady Londonderry and her family in the early 20th century and we look forward to welcoming you to enjoy in all its splendor. Six kilometers of walking trails wind through a landscape ‘lost in time’ and establishes Mount Stewart’s reputation as one of the best-preserved Irish country demesnes.

The Ark Open Farm is a fantastic family day out; the farm itself is set in 40 acres of beautiful countryside between Newtownards and Bangor. It’s home to a huge selection of farm animals and some that are a little more exotic. We opened the farm back in 1990 as one of the first open farms in Northern Ireland specialising in rare breeds of farm animals. Over the years we have added to our collection as well as developing our facilities to include indoor & outdoor play areas, quad & tractor rides and a really cool fairy-tale forest. The Ark Open Farm is a family run business and our team consists of passionate, animal loving folks who strive to make your experience on the farm extra special. There is something for everyone; animals, activities, lovely food and friendly people.
Went to the Ark farm today with my husband, daughter, son in Law and one year old grandson. We had a wonderful day, there was so much to do and the tractor trailer ride to the Fairytale forest was a great hit. There were lots of play areas for little ones to run around and explore, a large variety of animals to see. There were one way systems in place and lots of hand washing facilities as well as plenty of hand sanitizer. We had lunch in the cafe which was good value and enjoyable. What made the day extra special was the wonderful staff who as well as keeping everywhere clean ensured everyone had an enjoyable day.

Kiltonga and the duck pond is such a beautiful serene hidden gem on the edge of Newtownards. Easy accessible, flat paths that surround the lake are designed for all comfort levels of fitness and disabled travellers and/or visitors will find all routes accessible and not a single part out of bounds for them, despite any disability. MAny soecies of bird and other widlife are in abundance and ever present and very well used to contact with humans and children. Great wee spot for all the family and well worth a visit or ten.
