About

Leaving the centre of Strangford, we walk along a track into Compass Wood. The beautiful woodland path goes to the shores of Strangford Lough where you will see seabirds and maybe a seal or two on the rocks. We walk through a lime tree avenue and circle back to the village where you will learn about the maritime heritage of the village and the influence of the Vikings.

Bring warm clothing, including a hat and rainproof gear. Wear comfortable walking shoes. Tour ends back at the Lobster Pot.

All providers will adhere to Covid-19 safety guidelines in accordance with government advice, visit nidirect.gov.uk for the latest guidance.
