Newtownards

Motorhome Stopovers in Newtownards

Newtownards sits at the head of Strangford Lough in County Down, Northern Ireland — a market town of real substance, with a 16th-century Dominican priory tower in the town square and direct access to the Ards Peninsula via the A20. The A21 brings you in from Belfast to the west, making it a practical first stop after crossing from Cairnryan or arriving via Belfast harbour.

Motorhome Stopover Club members share verified overnight stops across the area — useful if you’re planning a slower run down the Ards Peninsula or using Newtownards as a base for Strangford Lough.
