Delamont Country Park

Delamont Country Park is a sprawling 200-acre parkland set on the shores of Strangford Lough in County Down. It's a wonderful destination for families, offering a mix of woodland walks, open meadows, and a large lake. The park features a fantastic children's adventure playground with equipment for all ages, including slides, swings, climbing frames, and a zip line. There are also waymarked walking and cycling trails, a tea room with indoor and outdoor seating, and a visitor centre with interactive exhibits about the park's wildlife and history. Highlights for kids: Adventure playground, fairy trail, butterfly house, and seasonal events like Easter egg hunts and Halloween trails. Facilities: Free parking (though there is a small charge for cars), accessible toilets, baby changing, picnic areas, and a café serving snacks and hot meals. Practical tips: The park is open daily from dawn to dusk. The adventure playground can get busy on weekends. Bring wellies if it's been rainy, as some paths can be muddy. The café has a kids' menu and high chairs are available.
