Friendly festival in a beautiful Harbour village cradled at the foot of rocky cliffs looking across 22 miles of the Irish Channel to Donaghdee. On the Gulf Stream, the area has a mild climate in which sub-tropical plants and trees flourish. The village lies at the foot of a deep cleft cut through the cliffs giving easy access into the hills, to Stranraer eight miles away, and to the rest of glorious Galloway.
