Situated in the north-east of Ireland, Down is one of Ireland's most interesting counties. Bordered on the north by Belfast, most of its towns are dormer towns for that thriving city. The towns of Bangor, Hollywood, Ardglass, Newcastle and Portaferry are typical of the now modern Victorian seaside resorts. Newry in the south of the County is probably the busiest border crossing to Southern Ireland and is therefore a bustling trading town. Down, one of Ireland's most fertile counties and is renowned for its many low, beautifully cultivated hills. The Ards peninsula forms a barrier between the sea and the almost land-locked Strandford Lough, Bangor, Donaghadee, Newcastle and Warrenpoint are some of the fine resorts that line the beautiful Down coast; they are linked by good roads that closely follow the winding shore. The county includes the part of Belfast that lies east of the river Lagan. Copyright@Down Self Catering Cottages
