Enjoyed a very pleasant couple of days with Maxwell & Rosemary in Bangor before heading down to Downpatrick and Newcastle area. Went to Castle Espie on the Monday morning which was unfortunately a bit of a building site with extensive renovations of both the visitor centre and the grounds taking place. Still a lot of beautiful ducks in residence. On Tuesday we went for a walk in the Mournes. At the B&B hosts advice we took a long point to point walk of around 8.5 miles which was very nice until we got to a very long steep descent. Had a nice dinner at the Mourne Seafood bar.
Travelled to Portpatrick on Wednesday and had a quick visit to the Logan Botanic Gardens. Not looking their best this late in the season.
On Thursday we woke to gale force winds and heavy rain and a tour of the Mull of Galloway wasn't looking too appealing so we headed home a day early.
