Backpacking In Millisle

By Jonny Blair


Millisle is a cool village near Bangor and Ards in Northern Ireland. It is situated on the Ards Peninsula and is in County Down. This town is just a really popular coastal resort and it also sits not too far away from Belfast, which is the Northern Irish capital city. There is a marvellous windmill in Millisle called Ballycopeland.

The Windmill is definitely one to get on your list as it looks amazing. The best recommendations here:

- Millisle Church of Ireland - Adams Park, home of Abbey Villa FC - Ballycopeland Windmill and Visitor's Centre

- Millisle Lagoon and Beach Park - Millisle Beach - St. Patrick's Church

- The Presbyterian Religious building in the village - A building which houses a jail type college for the people in Northern Ireland - The First & Last local public house

- Millisle Young Offender's Residence

- The Orange Hall for Protestants in the village

- Unfinished Airfield

- That farming community area of the village on Woburn Road

- A centre which makes handmade goods such as pottery and also serves tea, coffee and snacks

Population: 2, 300

Best locations to sleep in:

- A really awesome park where you can put up a tent, campervan or even a caravan

- A big house in the country

- Seaspray

- Ballywhiskin Caravan Park

The 1st and Last is clearly the most super bar in the area

The fish and chip shop called McClements is recommended

A brilliant cafe remains as Eden Pottery

A little bit of unusual information about Millisle:

- Many Jewish people from Eastern Europe were looked after in Millisle at a farm on the Woburn Road, owned by the Magill family, which took refugees from May 1938 until its closure in 1948.

- Millisle is one of few villages that doesn't have any political wall murals relating to the ongoing troubles in Northern Ireland.

Moving from one place to another:

- There are bus services to and from Belfast including the 10A and 7B. Most of these go to the main street in the village.

Celebrities in this zone:

- Amy Carmichael, a Christian missionary

- Nidge
