Tip - Makes a great Christmas gift!
Join Dr Robert Neill and Dr Tom Neill who will guide you around the stunning seaside town of Donaghadee aka Port Devine, featured in the BBC “Hope Street” television series.
Donaghadee is the nearest port to Scotland, the shores of which can be seen clearly on a crisp day, especially from the vantage point of the tour involves visit to the Camera Obsura up the hill of the Moat which will be open for the tour.
Built on a rich maritime history the town has many a story to tell, from 1600 to the present day.
On the tour, you will also learn about the Sir Samuel Kelly RNLI lifeboat, and the project exhibition, which rescued survivors from the MV Princess Victoria in 1953.
You will also explore the history of the streets and churches in the town.
This would make for something different to do on New Year's Day.
