Holiday Cottages in Ballyhalbert, County Down, Northern Ireland
Self Catering Holiday Accommodation
Ballyhalbert is on the east coast of the Ards Peninsula between Ballywalter and Portavogie and has the distinction of being the most easterly part of Ireland. The village, which has a small harbour, takes its name from the Talbot family who settled in the area following the Anglo-Norman conquest led by John de Courcy in the 12th century.
The village played a major role during the Second World War when an RAF airfield, RAF Ballyhalbert, was built. It had the important role of protecting Belfast and the eastern half of Northern Ireland. During its lifetime, Ballyhalbert was home to RAF, Army, Navy and United States Air Force (USAF) personnel. The airfield was sold to developers in March 1960, and is in use for several popular caravan parks.
