About

Situated on the hill south east of the Portaferry town you will discover Portaferry Windmill, Tullyboard Windmill.  Built by the Savage family in 1771 but destroyed by fire in 1878, the stump remains in place today and is an ideal viewpoint over the town. Take a wander up to the stump and even climb the staircase inside to take in the breathtaking views of Strangford Lough from the mouth of the Lough to Greyabbey, with the woods of Castle Ward, Portaferry Demesnes and the picturesque village of Strangford in front of you, with the ferry crossing the strong current. The windmill stump is used as a navigation marker for boats sailing through the Narrows of Strangford Lough.

Please respect the farmland around you, keeping to dedicated paths and leaving no trace as you go.
