Towns and Villages

Ards and North Down is made up of the City of Bangor and our four lively individually defined towns, each surrounded by an abundance of unique villages, big and small, all with something special to offer.

The City of Bangor and towns, Comber, Donaghadee, Holywood and Newtownards, make up our bustling centres. Historic Greyabbey, leafy Crawfordsburn, wistful Cloughey and picturesque Portaferry are just a small handful of villages you will come across as you explore shorelines nestled between the sparkling waters of the Irish Sea and the spectacular Strangford Lough.
