Set on the tranquil shores of Strangford Lough, Ireland's only Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust centre is a picturesque panorama of estuary views, tidal lagoons and woodland walks. Begin your adventure at the visitor centre, with its Loughshore Cafe, gift shop and ever-changing art gallery. Plenty of eco-friendly features reflect its green tourism mantra and exhibits pave the way for your outdoor odyssey.

A duckery, reconstructed crannog dwelling, bird hide, fantastic new observatory and indoor and outdoor children's play areas make it a fun-filled, family-friendly day out. And October's annual Arctic migration of virtually the world's entire population of Brent Geese guarantees a particularly amazing spectacle. Seasonal events such as Bat Nights, Pond Dipping and Birdwatches keep wildlife fans flocking back for more.
