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

Good beach just outside Bangor, with great views of Antrim Hills and over to Scotland.

Northern Ireland's last working windmill. It's open to the public and can be booked as a guided tour.

Functioning windmill that is open to the public. You can book guided tours, or just admire the building from the outside.

On Helen's Bay coastline, Grey Point Fort was built to protect the Belfast Lough in 1907. It is one of the best preserved 20th-century coastal forts in the British Isles. The fort is now a military museum exhibiting historic memorabilia from the First and Second World Wars. You can also visit the fort's observation post and three searchlight positions.

A lovely walk especially from Helens Bay - through rolling country side, however there is no signage but reasonable easy to follow - that is until to come to Helen's Tower - if you find it give yourself a Mars bar and if you manage to find your way to your cat at Whitespots car park - give yourself two Mars bars. Enjoy :-)

Only working Windmill in Ireland.

Helen's Tower is a 19th-century folly and lookout tower near Bangor, County Down, Northern Ireland. It was built by the 5th Baron of Dufferin and Claneboye and named for his mother, Helen. He intended it as a shrine for poems, first of all a poem by his mother and then other poems that he solicited from famous poets over the years. Tennyson's Helen's Tower is the best known of them. The tower is a fine example of Scottish Baronial architecture. Helen's Tower inspired the design of the Ulster Tower, a war memorial at Thiepval, France. (Howley 1993) (Nicolson 1937).

Nice safe golden sandy beach with views across Belfast Lough to County Antrim. Great for swimming and dog walking. The coastal path round to Bangor can be cycled but is more suited to a gravel or Mountain Bike than a road bike.
