Days Out in Greyabbey

From here, the Ards Peninsula opens out with beaches at Ballywalter and Millisle, the grand estate at Mount Stewart, and animal farms dotted nearby.

Eastwell Farm Alpacas is a good call with younger kids. Nendrum Monastic Site on Mahee Island is another free ruin to explore. Ards Brewing Company rounds it out for the adults. With 23 free options across the area, you can fill a full day without spending much.
