HOMEPAGE

Hello and welcome to my home page. In case we haven't met, let me introduce myself. My name is Owen and I live in Bangor, County Down a small town in Northern Ireland . Below are some pictures of various places in which you can visit here :

Facts about the town :

Bangor is a small seaside resort on the coast of Down. Apart from having many shops it also has many tourist attractions. One of these main attractions is Pickie Family Fun Park. Pickie Family Fun Park overlooks Bangor Marina and the landscaped gardens and promenade, this beautiful sea front oasis offers a variety of unique features for tourists and families alike.

Spectacular Swan pedal boats glide across the Boating Lagoon, while onlookers dine in the Windjammer Cafe. Parents can relax and watch their children at play in the sand pits which surround the Pickie Paddling Pool. As  well as this there is also the attraction of an adventure playground and Pickie Puffer as seen above. Other attractions include an Amphitheater with children's entertainment, band concerts and variety shows throughout the summer period.

Open seven days a week from Easter to October, 10.00 a.m. to 10.00 p.m., and at weekends from 10.00 a.m. to sunset from October to Easter. The advantage of Pickie Fun Park is that it offers free facilities with the exception of "The Boating Lagoon" and "The Pickie Puffer".

Other things to do around Bangor:

Walking is the most popular recreational activity, and there's no better place to put on a pair sensible shoes and stride out! One of the best walks in Ireland is along the North Down Coastal path extending along the shoreline from Holywood to Bangor and then on to Donaghadee. You can park the car or take a bus or train to join the path at many places along its 16 miles.

Fishing and pleasure Cruises:

Sea angling trips and pleasure cruises are the best way of seeing the whole of the North Down Coastline from the one spot And also the fishing is very good here too. They depart from Bangor's North Pier. Every day from 8.00am to 6.00p, March to October. However if you wish to go to the Copeland Islands the best way is to go to Donaghadee Pier. Which is about 6miles away from Bangor on the Coast. The boat departs every day from 8.00am to 5.00pm, July to August.
