Gary Lightbody has achieved worldwide recognition as the frontman of Snow Patrol.

While he has lived in the US, it is a city in the UK that he calls home.

Gary was born in Bangor, located in Ards and North Down, County Down, Northern Ireland, and has lived there for much of his life.

In the article, Gary says of Bangor, "It is a pretty part of the UK with lots of outdoor spaces to explore."

"Bangor is a great base to explore the Ards Peninsula, home to many picturesque towns and villages, as well as Strangford Lough – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty," Ireland.com stated.

"On 900 acres of the lough’s eastern shore sits the glorious 18th century Mount Stewart House and Gardens.

Bedecked in plush fabrics and sporting a 15,000-strong collection of paintings, the mansion is a treat to explore.

Those with a love for horticulture will adore the lush gardens, carefully planned and planted by Lady Londonderry over 100 years ago."
