Strangford, meaning
"sea inlet", is a small village situated across Strangford
Lough from Portaferry and is the main base for the
Strangford Lough ferry service.
The village has a small
harbour, which is overlooked by rows of 19th century
cottages and a fine Georgian terrace. It also has a number
of good restaurants. Strangford Castle, located near
the harbour in Strangford, is a 16th century tower-house
with drop hole at roof level to defend the door.
One mile north-west of
Strangford on a rocky height overlooking Strangford Lough is
Audley's Castle, a small gatehouse type tower house with
part of an enclosing bawn built in the 15th century. |
