The area and getting around

A county full of unique nature

County Down is undoubtedly home to incredible scenery and natural wonders, making it a highly sought after tourist destination. Its beautiful rolling hills and expansive fields covered in the greenest of grass make you feel like you're in another world. Although the most visited destinations are a bit far from the centre of the towns, with the exception of its beaches, there are many tour companies that are constantly shuttling visitors around, and you can also go by car, as most of the time you can find a parking area very close by. But all these places are definitely worth a visit, as each one offers a totally unique experience, something you haven't seen before, thanks to the diversity of soils, fauna and flora that you can find in this county.

Picturesque villages by the sea

In addition to County Down's fascinating nature, its many villages and towns are also worth a visit, especially those close to the coast. The picturesque character and touristy atmosphere of these places will put you in a good mood and once you walk through the streets you are sure to find a variety of things to do, see and taste. From outdoor restaurants, handicraft shops, malls, supermarkets, flower shops, cake shops and much more. In the coastal area you can see the boats parked on the quays and the colourful beach houses that line the waterfront, and if you pay a visit in the evening you would see the lights of the town reflecting in the calm waters.

Travellers and activities

County Down for nature lovers

Now, which natural wonder should you visit? Admittedly it can be a difficult decision when there is so much to see, but don't worry, the most popular ones are listed below. And for starters there's the famous Mourne Mountains, a must-visit destination that has captivated many visitors for years. Its breath-taking peaks, rolling valleys and lush forests are the formula for a perfect hike, whether you're the kind of person who loves intrepid trails, or you prefer to relax on the shores of a majestic lake, there's something to do here for everyone. Now if you want a change of scene, you can visit Murlough Beach, part of the Murlough Nature Reserve. Here you can enjoy a nice beach day on their approximately 8 kilometres of beautiful golden sands, and an incredible ocean where you can enjoy water sports or just take a refreshing dip.

County Down for history lovers

As well as natural wonders, there is also a wealth of historical monuments to visit. One of them is Castle Ward, a fabulous 18th century castle in the village of Strangford, which has been in the Ward family since 1570 and is now open to the public. It has an impressive façade and is surrounded by a beautiful garden, and inside you can see several rooms decorated with ancient artefacts and works of art. You can also enjoy the famous Down Cathedral, a building dating back to 1183, when Benedictine monks from Chester settled in the county. Although the cathedral has been restored several times over the years, it still retains its essence. Its interior has a very particular style, with seats arranged on the sides and beautiful stained-glass windows.

Many scenes from the television series ''Game of Thrones'' were filmed in County Down, specifically in the Mourne Mountains.
