Visit Down

See the Variety that Down Has to Offer


The County od Down in Northern Ireland is a fantastic place to visit, boasting a variety of vastly different geography’s from miles of beaches to mountainous areas. As such it has everything for pretty much everyone, whatever kind of break you are looking for.

For an air of adventure why not try Bryansford and Tollymore in Down, centres for outdoor adventure – from the sublime to the extreme. There is pony-trekking, bouldering, canoeing, abseiling, hillwalking and even Ireland’s only mountainboarding facility! And for something more relaxed there are plenty of areas of outstanding forest parks. Silent Valley, inland from restored harbour hamlet, Annalong, is another gem.

Round the rocky coast, past busy fishing port Kilkeel, to Victorian Rostrevor. Its park begins as manicured lawns, but as you climb it becomes an arboretum, river walk and finally a mountain trail offering views across Carlingford Lough.
