Skernaghan Point

Floodgates Walk, part of the Danders Aroon series, offers a picturesque linear walking route along the northern strand of Strangford Lough. This beautiful coastal path is steeped in Ulster Scots heritage, providing stunning views and rich history as it traverses the sea defenses first built by Lord Londonderry.

Starting from a small car park near Newtownards, walkers can enjoy the elevated embankment with panoramic vistas of the lough and Scrabo Tower. While the gravel path is accessible for most, it may not be suitable for those with limited mobility, and there are suggestions for improving seating along the route for a more enjoyable experience.
