Scrabo Country Park Tours and Activities

Located on the North Down coast just west of the town of Newtownards, the looming Scrabo Tower is an imposing sentinel in the Northern Irish countryside. Built in 1857 as a memorial to the third Marquis of Londonderry, the turreted tower is constructed from dark stone and resides on a hill 540 feet above sea level. The tower itself is 125 feet high, affording visitors with unbeatable views over the countryside and coastline beyond.

Step into a world of elegance and beauty at this 19th-century stately home, as renowned for its stunning grounds as for its opulent interiors.

The white “House on the Hill” is the home of the Northern Ireland Assembly and a triumphant symbol of this once divided U.K. country.

The historic house has some of the most interesting gardens in Northern Ireland and an extensive exhibition of ancient relics and artwork.
