This impressive fort was built in the 20th century and is one of the best preserved forts in the British Isles! It played a huge role in the defenses of Belfast during WW1 & WW2.

Part of the North Down coastal path from Holywood through to Bangor and out to Orlock head-hard surface all the way with some inclines a distance of 16 m.

Grey Point Fort at Helensbay going back to WW 2-has gun placements with history of the Fort- CHECK IF OPEN if you are just going to see the Fort.
