Ards Forest Park

15 minutes by car

A forest park on the Ards peninsula with marked trails through pine woods, over dunes and along quiet beaches. There is a cafe at the entrance and paths for every ability.

Ards Forest Park covers the neck of the Ards peninsula in pine woods, dunes and quiet beaches. Marked trails range from a short woodland loop to longer walks out to the shore.

There is a cafe and toilets at the entrance, and the paths are good enough for most walkers. The views across to Doe Castle and down the bay are the reason many guests come back a second time.
