About

Strangford is a small village at the mouth of Strangford Lough in County Down, Northern Ireland, just 20 minutes outside Belfast City.  Strangford Lough is located in both an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and in an area of special scientific interest.  It is one of the most richly bio-diverse regions in Europe with over 2,000 marine species spread across 150km and with all the birds, badgers and seals, there is an unmistakable tranquillity to this place.

Near the village of Strangford is Castle Ward, an 18th-century National Trust property with beautiful scenic trails for walking and exploring.  Game of Thrones, Winterfell scenes were filmed at Castle Ward.

The Strangford Lough Ferry runs a regular crossing from Strangford village linking the Ards Peninsula and the villages of Strangford and Portaferry.
