Based on the shores of Strangford Lough; just 45 minutes from Belfast. Come to Clearsky Adventure Centre for a wide range of activities on offer to everyone a€" from the young to the young at heart. The centre was also used extensively for the filming of Game of Thrones. As you drive down through the estate you soon realise why the HBO film location scouts chose here; the centres medieval walls and castle clock tower, the beautiful surrounding landscapes and far-reaching views across the water; it was the perfect place to create the fantasy 'Winterfell' - home of the Stark family Adventure days and courses for individuals to large groups. Canoeing, Laser Clay Pigeon Shooting, Kayaking, Sea Kayaking, Abseiling, Rock Climbing, Coasteering, Raft Build and Racing, Archery, Crate Stacking and more. Experience Clearsky &€" inspiration, fun and enjoyment for everyone.
Fab afternoon spent mountain biking around beautiful Castle Ward. Bike were ace - they even had a perfect fit for my 6’5” tall husband. The Boundary Trail was perfect for our 14 and 12-year-old so would highly recommend this activity for a family looking an active afternoon out! James was the perfect host -service was quick and efficient and he was really knowledgable. Have booked in for the kayaking tomorrow we were so impressed!

Located at the mouth of Strangford Lough on the Lecale side is a former NATO Radar Station lost in the wilderness. The walk includes the secluded Killard bay with its cliff faces with nesting birds. Views from here extend to the Isle of Man which is only as far away as Belfast. As it is a headland the main access points is at Mill Quarter with the second at Ballyhornan both on the Ballyhornan Scenic Loop just off the A2 road. Parking is available at both locations.

Parked up near Island for a wander across the causeway to the island, unfortunately the tide prevented this. However, the view alone from the car park made this trip worthwhile, stunning, simply stunning. Strangford Lough is beautiful, and a must for a visit to Belfast.

Discovered only in 1946 and excavated six years later this site yielded the largest amount of finds some of which are in the Ulster Museum. A dual court tomb, which are found only in the northern half of Ireland, it is located on the shores of Strangford Lough. It is signposted from the Strangford Road and parking is available. The site is located across a few fields and sensible shoes are advisable.
