A visit to Ards Forest Park will reward everyone in any season. The park covers approximately 1200 acres and encompasses a variety of habitats including sand dunes, beaches, salt marshes, salt water lakes, rock faces, and of course, coniferous and deciduous forests. With such a variety of landscapes, it is possible to spend many hours exploring this beautiful park. The sea is one of the real treasures of this forest park and there are several hiking trails, the Binngorm path, the salt marsh path and the sand dune path, which offer the hiker the opportunity to experience it in all its facets. There are a large number of trails in this park that allow the hiker to explore a variety of habitats from coastal and sand dunes to near-natural oak forests on ledges.
