The perfect Saturday in County Down
Bread making and Distillery tour
Starting at Midday you’ll join Tracey in her Farmhouse Kitchen where you’ll make Soda, Wheaten and Potato breads in the traditional way. You’ll feast on homemade food and drink and you’ll take home your breads along with the recipes.
From there you will make your way across the Ards peninsula to Copeland Distillery in Donaghadee, only 20minutes drive, you’ll come and experience a tour of the distillery. Starting at 530pm, taste our award winning spirits, learn about the way we make our gins, rums and whiskeys and hear about the stories of smuggling and seized contraband in the local area! Stop off for lunch beforehand and sample some of the amazing scenery that Strangford Lough has to offer.
Kayaking and whiskey tasting
Strangford Lough has so much going on that we thought we would offer you up another amazing adventure. In the morning, you will explore the waterways, rolling drumlins and inlets of the Lough in your own Kayak, sightseeing lightships, monastic sites and castles. With over 2000 species of wildlife there are few places more beautiful to paddle.
In the afternoon, it’s time to try out another amazing County Down Distillery, this time with Shortcross Distillery. Just a short 20minutes drive away, you will kick off your afternoon, experiencing first-hand the sights, sounds, tastes, and aromas of this fully operational craft distillery.
Join the resident whiskey expert for a guided tasting of Shortcross Irish Whiskey and Poitin.
North Coast Adventure – Coasteering and Forest Bathing
Another itinerary to really capitalise on all your emotions.
In the morning, our focus is on adrenalin, visiting CoasteeringNI in Ballintoy Harbour near Ballycastle. Explore the coastline in a thrilling way with our coasteering adventures. Enjoy rock climbing, learn scrambling and jumping techniques, and safely dive into the sea from great heights. It’s an adrenaline-filled adventure like no other.
In the afternoon, you will change gears, make your way over to Castlerock for a luxury dining & wellness experience in the rugged Causeway Coast, under the magnificent Mussenden Temple & Downhill forest.
The dining area is right at the foot of the cliffs upon which the famous Mussenden Temple is perched. It’s the perfect place to unwind in the natural elements, so make the most of the picturesque setting. Listen to the rhythmic sound of the crashing waves and feel the sand beneath your feet as you tuck into delicious local produce.
Upon your arrival at the stunning Downhill beach, you’ll meander across the wooden walkway, where the mountain meets the shore. There’s a sense that the ancient stories live on amongst the fabric of this landscape – there’s magic in the mountains, spirit in the sea, and if you stop and listen, you may hear the whisper of the wells.
Claire, your expert local guide, takes you on to the ancient woodland of Downhill Forest, introducing you to parts of the forest that offer a release from the stresses of everyday living, and encourage you to soak up the atmosphere, taking time to enjoy the company of the trees and the sounds of the birds. This is nature’s therapy at its best.
This promises to be an amazing day out
