A nice place to drive to within a short distance of Comber. There are steps and a short walk around ancient ruins with scenic views surrounding.

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

Definitely not your average antique shop. Decorative Antiques and Interiors based at 68-70 Castle Street, Comber, County Down. We’re definitely not antique experts and don’t profess to be… we simply buy with our eyes, and what we buy is based on personal taste. From an architectural background we have a keen eye for design and strong spacial awareness. This carries through to, and influences our showrooms and their contents. Our stock varies widely but we’re particularly interested in 18th & 19th century furniture. This forms the core of our showrooms which are then accessorised by hand selected curiosities, taxidermy and art. We always have a fine selection of ever changing decorative antiques, unique (often weird and wonderful) bits and bobs and interior pieces, sourced from all over the uk and further afield, restored or refurbished and ready for your home. We're pretty sure it's not what you'd expect ;)

Just home after being out for our church Christmas dinner. 88 of us fed very efficiently by very friendly staff. Everyone seemed to enjoy their meals. Congratulations to the chefs on duty. Thank you so much to Nicky and all his staff at the TT.
