Holywood is a prosperous commuter town in Ards & North Down, sitting on the southern shore of Belfast Lough between Belfast and Bangor. The A2 runs through it and is the main coastal road connecting the two cities — making Holywood a convenient stop for motorhomers arriving into Northern Ireland via Belfast or those heading east along the North Down coast. The town has a maypole on its main street, independent shops, and easy access to the lough shore.
