Bangor, perched on the edge of Belfast Lough, has that breezy seaside charm that makes it feel like you're on a bit of a break, even if you're just passing through. It's one of Northern Ireland's most relaxed and likeable spots, with a bustling marina, parks that open onto the sea, and a town centre that's got just enough going on without the full-on city pace. Whether you're sitting outside a café by the water or taking a wander along the coastal path, there's something refreshing about life in Bangor.

The town's history goes back further than you might expect. It was once home to a major monastery, founded by Saint Comgall in the 6th century, and became one of the most important Christian centres in early medieval Ireland. Bangor Abbey's legacy can still be felt today, even if the original buildings are long gone. It grew into a popular Victorian seaside resort, with the railway giving visitors easy access from Belfast. That mix of coastal life and commuter convenience stuck around, and Bangor eventually gained city status in 2022. It's now home to around 65,000 people and continues to be a popular place to live, with families, retirees and younger crowds all settling here.

There's a solid mix of things to do in Bangor and the surrounding area. Bangor Marina is one of the largest in Ireland, drawing in sailors from all over, and is backed by bars, restaurants and sea views that stretch for miles. Pickie Fun Park is a hit with families, and just along the coast you'll find Ballyholme Beach, perfect for a paddle or a walk with the dog. North Down Museum, set in the old town hall, dives into the local history, and there are several walking trails leading through Ward Park or out to Crawfordsburn Country Park. The park itself is a real gem, with wooded trails, waterfalls and a beach that always seems to be just the right amount of busy. For National Trust spots, Mount Stewart on the Ards Peninsula is only a short drive away, with its grand house and gardens that are beautiful in any season.

The wider County Down area is packed with places worth exploring. Head inland and you'll reach the Mourne Mountains, where walking trails wind through valleys, forests and open peaks that look out to the sea. Newcastle sits at their foot and offers a traditional seaside feel with proper fish and chips and long, sandy shores. Strangford Lough is another standout – peaceful, dotted with islands, and rich in wildlife. There's also Castle Ward, a National Trust property famous not just for its architecture but for being a Game of Thrones filming location. From Downpatrick to Donaghadee, the county has that mix of rolling farmland, quiet towns and coastal air that makes it hard to stay indoors.

Getting to and around Bangor is nice and easy. It's the end of the line on the Belfast to Bangor railway, so there are regular trains into the capital, which makes commuting a doddle. Roads link well with the A2 coast road or via Newtownards if you're heading inland. Buses run often, especially towards Belfast, Newtownards and along the coast. Belfast City Airport is the closest for flights, about 25 minutes by car, while Belfast International is a bit further out but still manageable. The town itself is walkable, and the coastal paths are ideal for cycling or just ambling along at your own pace.

County Down is one of Northern Ireland's most scenic and diverse counties – a proper blend of coastline, countryside and compact towns. From the hills of the Mournes to the open water of Strangford Lough, it's full of places that feel untouched and peaceful. The county hugs the east side of Northern Ireland, bordering Armagh to the west and stretching down towards Carlingford Lough at the southern tip. It's the kind of place where history sits quietly in the background, and the scenery does most of the talking.
