Carrowdore Castle Gate is one of the original 19th-century entrance lodges to the Carrowdore Castle estate in County Down. Built in a Gothic style, it features a castellated parapet and turret-like details that echo the look of the main house. Today it stands as one of the most distinctive remnants of the castle complex, marking the historic gateway to the estate.

Great food selection, delicious cakes, highly recommended

Cafe is usually open 10-4pm. Toilets, cafe, indoor and outdoor seating and an educational area for visitors telling you all about the country park. Water bowls and an outdoor tap to refill for dogs. Lots of parking around the cafe.

19th-century folly and lookout tower near Bangor. Named after the 5th Baron's mother, Helen. He intended it as a shrine for poems - Tennyson's Helen's Tower is the best known of them. Well worth a stop off to explore the architecture.

nice trail run up the tower

Beautiful Ballywalter Beach! Lovely spot to stop and appreciate the white sand and the view. There are also some sculptures on the promenade and plenty of good ice cream shops on the sea front too.

Good climb out of, or descent into, Ballywalter. The view is great whichever way you go, but the effort is a little bit different!!

Ruins of a 12th century Cistercian monastery. A lovely way to spend a few hours exploring the history. It's a open site which can be visited any time, but the small visitors centre is open for a few hours at the weekend.
