Bangor NORTHERN IRELAND
County Down NI 2003 FROM WHEELCHAIR NOMAD DIARY... We then drove along the coastline, through a series of villages, threaded together like beads on a necklace; including Groomsport, North Down, Donaghadee, Millsle, Ballywater, Portavogie, Cloghy, Kearney, and Portaferry. Each village was highly scenic, built on the seafront, usually with a long sandy beach, with an artificial breakwater creating a yacht harbour. Yachts are moored along the coast, reflecting off the blue water below cloud-flecked skies. Buildings lining the stone breakwater walls are usually three or four stories in height and like most Irish buildings are usually freshly painted, usually a bright white colour. At Portavogie we encountered a genuine fishing harbour with twenty or so ocean-going trawlers crowded into the harbour, sporting a confusion of masts, radio antennas and booms. Each boat flew a union jack, the breakwater was painted red, white and blue and murals were painted on the roadway and nearby buildings. There can be no mistaking the loyalty to England offered by this small fishing village or the strength of the local Ulster Volunteer Brigade. We moved further south passing local pubs, but Richard was getting tired of driving these very narrow roads with sharp curves, and a constant stream of oncoming threatening traffic hogging the tarmac
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 (

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.

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.

Armed Forces Day 2017: Bangor Co. Down
Tens-of-thousands flocked to sunny Bangor in Co Down Northern Ireland.
The popular seaside resort, which boasts a world-class marina, hosted the annual event in the presence of the Lord Lieutenant for Co Down David Lyndsey, the Minister for Armed Forces Mark Lancaster, Brigadier 38 Irish Brigade Andrew Rowe and the Mayor and councilors of Bangor Council.
The event was supported by reservists from the many units based in the province as well as the band of the Royal Irish and the Pipe and Drums of the Irish Guards and Royal Dragoon Guards.
Donaghadee - County Down, Northern Ireland
Donaghadee has a great landmark in the lighthouse over the pier facing into the Irish Sea. There is a beautiful coastal walk here - also into the town where there is an old moat/castle structure and a great view of the surrounding area. Very close to Bangor and Belfast.
There are some small towns scattered around Belfast that open the eyes of the visitors and tourists who are staying in Belfast and give them the chance to think outside the box and go out of the city to any of these towns if they have some spare time to spend and this is usually a good plan because it will give them the chance to explore more parts of Northern Ireland during their trip.
Donaghadee is one of these different options related to small towns which we have to refer to and mention, it is only 18 miles away from Belfast and only 6 miles away from Bangor - which is not a long distance for someone to go. Donaghadee is a small town situated in county Down, Northern Ireland, that lies on the northeast coast of the Ards Peninsula; it is in the civil parish of Donaghadee and the historic barony of Ards Lower. The history of Donaghadee town and the different attractions that could be seen in it add to the encouragement that fills the visitor's heart and mind about going there.
Donaghadee town was actually featured in the Irish Rebellion of 1798; in the morning of Pike Sunday 10 June 1798, a force of United Irishmen mainly from Bangor, Donaghadee, Greyabbey, and Ballywalter attempted to occupy the the town of Newtownards, they met with musket fire from the market house and they were defeated. In addition to this historical part, Donaghadee harbour is also important when it comes to this town since it has its historical part as well; Donaghadee was used in the period between 1759 and 1826 by couples going to Portpatrick, Wigtown, Scotland in order to get married since there was a daily packet boat going there from Donaghadee harbour.
Of course when it comes to any new place you are visiting, the first thing that you will be doing is searching for the different touristic attractions that you could visit there. When it comes to Donaghadee town, there are a couple of things to consider visiting, such as the Moat, the Harbour and the Marina along with the lighthouse, and there are other minor places to consider such as the Parish Church.
The harbour and the lighthouse of Donaghadee town are famous because that harbour almost dates back to the 17th century and this harbour is well known for its lighthouse - it might be one of the most famous attractions related to this town, it has actually been a haven for ships for years and years.
In addition to the harbour and the lighthouse, there is also the Moat - or as it is also known and referred to the Motte - which was actually built to house the explosives used in building the harbour. The Moat is also one of the most prominent features of the town that dates back to 1818 but today it is now part of a park, giving views across the town and seawards towards the Copeland Islands (
These are the most common things to be done in this small town but there are still other activities which one could also include and which might be a walk by the town that includes the marine walk by The Commons: this is a semi-cultivated open space with bowls, tennis, putting, and an adventure playground. There are also those restaurants, hotels, and bars which you could choose from and enjoy sitting at, one of them is the famous Grace Neill's bar which opened back in 1611 as the King's Arms and which is considered the oldest bar to be found in Ireland.
When you are visiting Donaghadee town, you should always check the events that might be taking place there because you could get the chance to enjoy your time attending any of them. There are also those shops and boutiques which might be offering different products that you could go back home with any of them - make your visit count.
There are some other small towns and cities which are close to Donaghadee - and that of course in addition to Belfast the capital city of Northern Ireland and the one mostly visited ( - from these places, there is Bangor which is the closest to Donaghadee and which is mostly known with its harbour ( there is also Portaferry which is mostly known with its Exploris Aquarium ( and there is also Ballywalter which is considered not far away from Donaghadee (
These were the things we managed to visit in Donaghadee, county Down, and this was the trip we went on and enjoyed. Have you ever been there before? Share with us more of your stories and adventures.

Umbrella Street, Carrickfergus
Carrickfergus is an historical town on the Antrim Coast. It’s promoted by the Carrickfergus Town Centre Partnership and one of their aims is to attract more people into Carrickfergus.
Their latest idea is bold and creative and has got the town talking. Locals have dubbed it Umbrella Street. It’s an art installation of umbrellas suspended in the air along West Street. The idea is to invigorate the town centre, get the buzz back and increase footfall.
The display is on until the end of April 2018 so if you haven’t seen it yet, come on down to Carrickfergus and take a look at the umbrellas. I went along on a cold, windy Good Friday when there were hardly any people about … but I was told that the previous days were a lot busier.
Episode 38 was filmed on Friday 20th March 2018.
