Northern Ireland - Day 14

This was our last full day. We left Annalong and drove south down the coast to Cranfield beach for a walk. There's an unusual lighthouse just off the coast, in Carlingford Lough.



The tide was in so the beach wasn't big enough to let Oscar off lead. We carried on into Newry and parked near the centre. We bought some lunch from Lidl, then went for a walk along Carlingford Lough Greenway, a narrow strip of land next to the shipping canal there.

There were a lot of birds feeding as the tide went out.


After Newry we drove back to Strangford Lough, as we knew there was a good wild camping spot at Whiterock Bay near Sketrick Island. The sun was still out when we got there and it was spectacular.


After parking up we went for a walk round Sketrick Island, passing the castle on the way.



We went back to the van and left Oscar, and returned to Daft Eddys bar and restaurant on the island for a drink. We passed a field of sunflowers on the way.


Back at the van we made tuna pasta with tomato sauce for dinner.
