Millisle Top Tourist Sights

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 worth checking out for its artistic charm. Top sights to look out for:

- Irish Church (Church of Ireland) in Millisle - The real football ground here is Adams Park for Abbey Villa F.C. - Ballycopeland Windmill and the area around it including the information 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

- An Airfield strip but no airport and this one is incomplete

- That farming community area of the village on Woburn Road

- Eden Pottery Centre and Cafe

Two thousand and three hundred people live in Millisle

Best locations to sleep in:
