Relax and sit back while you sail up Strangford Lough as St Patrick did in the 5th Century and learn all about the largest sea lough in the Celtic Isles. See historic Castleward (Winterfell, Game of Thrones). Spot the Game of Thrones castles and site of battle. Hear tales of Viking raids and see their island base in Strangford Lough. Look out for the seals on the rocks and bring your binoculars to appreciate the diversity of bird life you will see.

Once an important shipbuilding centre, Portaferry is now a picturesque tourist destination with many fine buildings and a fascinating historical story. From Windmill Hill there are panoramic views across Strangford Lough and the surrounding countryside.

What clients said

“Enjoyed two of Brigid’s tours this week- Portaferry and along the shore…. Her knowledge of its history through the ages was interesting and presented in a relaxed easy manner.”
