Just spent weekend with Clearsky activities at Castleward. Saturday morning Coasteering. YOU HAVE TO DO THIS!! Weather was great and very calm. Eddie and Rory were our instructors and looked after us all, very professional but fun time. Went with my 15 yr old son for a bit of bonding time. Rock climbing and jumping off high cliffs into sea. You have to go into the hidden cave!! Second day 2.5 hours around Castleward Park mountain biking on excellent bikes hired from Clearsky. Could easily have spend 5 hours on tracks. Very enjoyable and a must do . Tracks are really well set out with lots of different terrain and suitable for all ages. Went out on Sea Safari in afternoon on Strangford Lough. Another must do!! Saw the lovely wildlife, seals and falcons, up and close to whirlpools which Andy the boatman explained and handled the very fast currents with ease, 300 hp engines on boat!! great craic. Castleward is a National Trust property and has a very good cafe and courtyard and lots of activities for all ages. If you camp or caravan, you have to book the caravan site. Very well run and the introduction of Pods for 2 - 4 persons. These are Scandanavian wooden huts, lovely! Check it out. Will be back soon.
