The yellow flowers in the foreground are gorse or whin. From early summer to late autumn they are characteristic of the countryside here and the air is filled with their scent.

Look for the remains of the windmill, of which only the base remains. Formerly, there were many windmills in the area. The one at Ballycopeland on the Ards Peninsula is in working order.

Turning 180° you can see the Narrows, that narrow deep channel at the entrance to Strangford Lough. It has fast flowing currents, turbulent waters and a whirlpool - the Routen Wheel.

Looking to the left you can see the mouth of the Narrows where the Irish Sea water floods into and out of the Lough with every tide.

On a clear day, looking across the drumlins of the peninsula you can see the Irish Sea and the Isle of Man.

On the opposite shore is the pretty village of Strangford. A ferry runs from Portaferry to Strangford and back throughout the day.

To the left of Strangford is Kilclief. The castle there dates from the 1400s.

To the right of Strangford is the National Trust estate of Castle Ward.

Looking to the right and northwards you can see the Lough widening out. It stretches for 30km. Its northern end is completely different from the southern entrance, with wide stretches of sandflats and shallow, calm water. Take a look at it in the Scrabo tour.
