Situated on the western shores of Strangford Lough in an area of outstanding natural beauty, Killyleagh is a large, friendly village with much to offer. The settlement is dominated by a magical castle with spectacular turrets and battlements, which dates back to the 12th Century. Rebuilt in 1666, the castle remains a private home, but it does occasionally throw open its grounds for concerts and open-air theatre shows. Just outside Killyleagh is Delamont Country Park, which offers lovely rural walks, a kilometre-long miniature railway, boat trips around the Lough, and facilities for camping and caravans. In the park is the Strangford Stone, a towering megalith created from a single block of granite quarried in the nearby Mourne Mountains and erected as a symbol of unity for the Millennium. Killyleagh is a great place for sailing and other water-based activities, and in the evenings, guests will enjoy a welcome and maybe even a music session in the local pubs. Outside of the village, there is lots to explore, from the woodlands and green, rolling drumlins of the outlying areas to the scenery of the Lough, with its rich birdlife, the historic sights of neighbouring Downpatrick, and the grandeur of the Mournes.
