A 'Carpet' of Tulip Colour at Bangor Castle's Secret Walled Garden.
It's the 1st May 2017 My sister Maye's birthday.
We are back over visiting the wonderful Walled Garden at Bsngor Castle Co Down.
We walk through the small ancient red brick entrance doorway to be met by this 'river', of Spring colour floral display, made up of assorted tulips and multi coloured For-Get-Me-Nots. I am blown away by this surge of beauty. What an outstanding arrangement of spring flowers! -And all laid on for our visual enjoyment, for free!
The 1.5 acre garden is divided into four different sections, each with its own horticultural personality-The 1.5 acre site has four distinct sections — the kitchen garden, the herb and topiary garden, the swamp garden and the flower garden. It also holds two unique pieces of sculpture inspired by the borough's maritime history.
The Ward family designed the Bangor Castle Walled Garden in the 1840s. It was previously unopen to the public and was considered by many as a secret garden! North Down Borough Council restored this beautiful the Garden and it was officially opened as a visitor attraction in April 2009.
The garden won the Royal Horticultural Society Award for Permanent Landscaping in its first year of opening.

Pickie Park Bangor - Open Air Amusement Park in Bangor
Pickie Park in Bangor is a great place to visit for some family fun in Northern Ireland. Pickie Park is well known for its pool, one of the fun things to do in Bangor for kids when the sun is shining. Check out this Video of Bangor Pickie Park.
Bangor city could attract tourists and visitors for several reasons and the one most famous of them all is Bangor Harbour or Marina and since it comes to this marina, Pickie Park is another place that people tend to go to and have some fun family time for the different games and activities which they could do inside.
Pickie Park was opened at Bangor marina in county Down, Northern Ireland, to attract all the different members of the family; those who want to have some fun and those who just want something a little bit different to enjoy. This is a place that is welcoming all the different members of the family, young and old, because in addition to the different games and activities which are found there, there is also a cafe that the adults could sit at while giving their kids the chance to play a little bit, and when the weather is good, this will be considered the best place to sit at by the water.
There is something for everyone inside Pickie Park, if your kids are too young that they are still not allowed to enjoy any of the games and activities which are found there, they could play in the indoor play corner which is located inside the cafe and which houses an activity table, blackboard, play kitchen and a selection of toys and coloring sheets, so they could play there while the parents are sitting there watching them out while drinking something at the cafe.
From the different activities and games which are offered at Pickie Park, there is the swans in the lake, the Pickie puffer, water walking, the pirate slide, crazy golf, electric cars, disco ducks and the play park, so your kids will definitely find something which they will enjoy and have some fun playing with.
It is always beautiful to play while you are surrounded by the water and that is what Pickie Park offers to its visitors, but there are different attractions found there as well - picking up an ice cream while spending your time there is always a good option, just trust our experience at the place :-)
This fun park is at the gateway to the Marine Gardens which is a good place for those who want to have a nice walk. At this place, the Marine Gardens, one will be offered with different beautiful views of Bangor Bay and the hills of Antrim beyond; you will just walk around a little bit, enjoy the beautiful scenes and eventually take a seat and cherish all that is viewed in front of you.
Bangor is known to be a large town in county Down, Northern Ireland, it is a seaside resort on the southern side of Belfast Lough and within the Belfast Metropolitan Area. There are different things and attractions that could be seen and visited there and the most important of them all is Bangor marina which is the largest marina in Northern Ireland that opened back in 1989 that became very well known for providing a berth in the centre of the city ( It is not just about the marina in Bangor city, but there are also some other attractions to refer to: first of all, we have to mention the restaurants that offer seafood or even traditional Irish food and which are very close to the harbour that one could go to while being there, and then comes all the other different attractions that could be checked there and which include the famous McKee Clock, Bangor Walled Garden, Bangor Old Custom House, Bangor Market House, Bangor Castle, Bangor Abbey, Bangor Carnegie Library, Castle Park, Clandeboye Estate, Clandeboye Park and Somme Heritage Centre.
Bangor is not far from Belfast and thus it gives people the chance to visit it easily without having to worry about the amount of time which they will spend in reaching their destination - and this is another reason why Bangor Marina is usually visited from people on different times and they are sometimes coming from Belfast.
We have visited Bangor, we have been to Bangor Marina ( we also visited Pickie Park for some fun with the family ( and we definitely suggest the three places for those who will be in Bangor - that's of course comes in addition to the other destinations and attractions which we have mentioned above, it all depends on the amount of time you will spend in the city.
Pickie Park is always a good idea for having some fun and enjoying a good whether by the marina, having an ice cream, and sitting there enjoying the weather.
Pickie Park should be your next choice while you are in Bangor, if you haven't been there yet (

Castle Espie Wildlife Wetlands, County Down, Northern Ireland
We adore wildlife and nature and love to visit nature parks and wildlife wetlands at any opportunity; Castle Espie Wetlands being such an occasion when we were on holiday in Northern Ireland. Although not on the same grand scale as Slimbridge in Gloucestershire spending the afternoon at the Wetlands made for a great day-out.
The duck pond just inside the entrance was teaming with bird life so we started with a quick sit-down while we feed the ducks and geese and other birds on the pond, and took a few photos. Then we slowly meandered along the paths around Limestone Lake, with views of the various lagoons and the sea beyond, and the salt marshes to one side in the distance.
Then continuing along the path we made our way pass the old Castle Espie Brickworks, down into the woods, through the pine forest to the swamp and then back around to the duck pond by the entrance where we had one final sit-down to feed the birds before making our way back to our holiday cottage above the bay in the foothills of the Mourne Mountains.

Pickie Park & Bangor Harbour; A Great Family Fun Day Out
Bangor Northern Ireland offers some great attractions and activities for any family seeking seaside fun. Pickie Park is a famous local park along Bangor Harbour. Bangor is in County Down - Northern Ireland, not far from Belfast. On a sunny day - its a great place to go for a walk and ice cream! :-)
Bangor Harbour is the largest marina in Northern Ireland and it opened in 1989 on the southern shore of Belfast Lough. Since that time, this marina has been famously known among the Irish people for providing a berth in the centre of Bangor. If you went to visit Bangor Harbour, you will find yourself having a walk beside lots of yachts that are parking there and this is actually one of the reasons why this marina has been awarded five Anchors by the Yachting Harbour Association. One of the famous things found there is the sculpture of the old man eating a pastie and seated there by the waters, the back of this man is showing an old map of Bangor (
The next fun stop in this video and trip is the Pickie Park which is located in Bangor as well and which was one creation done after the appearance of this marina. Pickie Park is one of the places that families should choose when they are searching for something fun to do and give the kids the chance to play around for a little bit (
There are different things that one could do inside Pickie Park in Bangor - or actually different games and activities that one could enjoy - such as paddling with the swans in the lagoon, playing mini golf, enjoying the water zorbing, or going on a race around the track in the electric carts, there is also the Pickie Puffer and families could enjoy their time sitting in the cafe and having something to drink while leaving the kids playing in the indoor kids area which is completed with an activity table, blackboard play kitchen and a selection of toys and coloring sheets.
One of the unexpected things which you might never be able to consider is the Irish weather upon which the games and the opening hours of the park might differ - it is usually open from 9am to 7:30pm, seven days of the week but this might change according to the weather.
Pickie Park is considered the gateway to Marine Gardens which is a good place for having a nice walk since one will receive panoramic views for Bangor Bay and the hills of Antrim beyond - this is considered the perfect place for those who want to sit down and relax a little bit to give their minds the chance to calm it all down.
Enjoying a walk by Bangor Harbour and getting the kids to enjoy their time in Pickie Park will both bring you to explore the city of Bangor on a closer look. These are not the only things which one could do in Bangor, county Down, but there are still places to visit and attractions to see. Within a walking distance from the marina, you will get the chance to find cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, banks, and everything you might be searching for and you could even come across one of the famous touristic attractions which is Ulster Folk and Transport Museum and Heritage Centre ( (
Bangor is known to be a large town in county Down, Northern Ireland. It is a seaside resort on the southern side of Belfast Lough and within the Belfast Metropolitan Area, it was even voted back in 2007 by UTV viewers as the most desirable place to live in in Northern Ireland - and we have to agree that a lot of places in Bangor are calming for the mind and the body.
There are some places which people could aim to visit while they are in Bangor to make sure that they have seen the best out of this city. These places will include the Clandeboye Estate, the Ward Park, the Clandeboye Park, Castle Park, Bangor Abbey, Bangor Carnegie Library, Bangor Castle, Somme Heritage Centre, Bangor Market House, Bangor Old Custom House, McKee Clock and Bangor Walled Garden.
We have had a great time in Pickie Park and we also enjoyed the idea of checking Bangor Harbour and walking along it - the kids enjoyed the different attractions which are found inside the park and we loved sitting there in the cafe, walking inside the park and also we enjoyed the ice cream we managed to get ourselves :-) It is really one of the places we would suggest for those searching for a fun thing to do in Bangor during their stay there.
One tip to keep in mind before heading to Pickie Park: always check the weather and make sure that the activities and games there will be all available and that the park will be open during the same known hours, because other than that you might find yourself missing a lot of fun there - it is best to go there during the summer days to enjoy the water activities as well.
