Motorhome Stopovers in Portaferry

Portaferry sits at the southern tip of the Ards Peninsula in County Down, looking across the narrow Strangford Lough narrows to Strangford village on the far shore. A short car ferry crossing connects the two sides. The A20 runs the length of the peninsula from Newtownards, making Portaferry the natural end point of that coastal drive — a quiet, characterful village with a working waterfront and views across one of Ireland's most important marine habitats.
