Tucked between the forest and the sea sits the tranquil haven of Ards Friary & Retreat Centre.

It is just a short 10 minute drive from the camp, this is the perfect place to explore, relax and reflect.

The friary is home to the Franciscan Capuchin Order who bring a nurturing, spiritual presence to the land they care for and the visitors they welcome year round.

Enjoy a coastal walk to Lady Isobella’s beach and the stunning Lucky Shell beach – a must see for anyone visiting the area.

There are also a number of other tranquil walks and the friary’s “Coffee Dock” is the perfect place to enjoy lunch, snack or coffee.
