Backpacking In Millisle

Backpacking In Millisle

by Jonny Blair

Millisle in Northern Ireland is worth a trip for any tourist. This is a pure fire village of deep intensity and deserves to be seen, it is close to the town of Donaghadee and just a bit further along the Ards peninsula than Bangor or Groomsport. Belfast is the Northern Irish capital city and you can fly into the airport there ready to explore Millisle. Here in Millisle while backpacking through it, you will get nice views and a classic windmill

The Windmill is definitely one to get on your list as it looks amazing. The best recommendations here:

- The massive Church in Millisle - Abbey Villa Football Club stadium - The Windmill at Ballycopeland and the information kiosk with it

- The cool lagoon and pool here in Millisle - The main beach in the village of Millisle - The Church representing the patron saint of Ireland

- Millisle Presbyterian Church - Northern Ireland Prison Service College - The First and Last Pub (allegedly visited by King William III)

- The home for bad boys

- 12th July Lodges go from the main Orange Hall in Millisle

- A place where they tried to build a runway but it was never finished

- The wee farm area on the Road by Woburn

- A coffee shop which doubles up as a place selling pottery

Population: 2, 300

Where to be based overnight:

- A really awesome park where you can put up a tent, campervan or even a caravan

- A massive house known locally as the "Pinecroft"

- Ocean water drifting in

- Another camping zone near the village or settlement of Ballywhiskin

Our Favourite Pub: The First and Last

The fish and chip shop called McClements is recommended

For coffee, tea and handmake crafts - pottery, crockery etc. head to "Eden Pottery"
