Scrabo Country Park is centred at the top of Scrabo Hill near Newtownards and offers incredible views over Strangford Lough and the surrounding countryside. The paths through the fine beech woodlands at Killynether Wood and around the disused quarries provide ample opportunities for quiet countryside enjoyment. The quarries are surrounded by disturbed ground which nature is colonizing with thorns and scrub.
A walk through the hazel wood will reveal other wild flowers and a wide range of bird life can be observed in the park.
The County Park is home to Scrabo Tower, one of Northern Ireland’s best known landmarks, built in 1857 as a memorial to the 3rd Marquis of Londonderry. Click Here For 360 degree Virtual Tour.
