While our property is in a rural area, there is a small corner shop a mile away and we are within three miles of the nearest town, Lurgan, which has supermarkets, restaurants and the second largest park in Ireland. There is a ski centre and a watersports centre within 10 minutes drive and the Council run weekly or daily events programmes for children and teenagers throughout holiday periods. We also have excellent golf courses nearby and the Craigavon Lakes provides mountain bike trails as well as a weekly 5km Park Run.

We are a short 30 minute drive/train journey into Belfast City Centre. We are also only about 45 minutes from the beautiful Mourne Mountains (https://walkni.com/mourne-mountains-destination/), an hour and a half to Dublin (https://www.visitdublin.com/) and about the same distance to the North Coast - handy for visiting the Giant's Causeway.

We are about 40 minutes drive to the nearest sandy beaches, in Newcastle, and Murlough Beach and Nature Reserve is a great place to go for a walk (https://www.countryfile.com/go-outdoors/walks/murlough-national-nature-reserve-county-down-northern-ireland/) to view the basking seals and other wildlife.

St George's Market (https://visitbelfast.com/partners/st-georges-market/) is a traditional Victorian market and was recently voted Britain's best market and is one of Belfast's top attractions. It's especially great at Christmas time, where they have additional opening hours - great for crafts, food and music.

Northern Ireland also hosts many fabulous golf courses, all of which are within easy reach. For links golfers, we have the two 'Royals' - Royal Portrush (home of the 2019 British Open) and Royal County Down but we also have numerous parkland courses within the vicinity. I am a member at Lurgan Golf Club (https://www.lurgangolfclub.com/) - a challenging yet rewarding course 5 minutes drive from our home and can arrange playing partners if you wish. I also have numerous sets of clubs (mens, ladies and junior) which you are welcome to use.

We have two exceptional living history museums in the vicinity, which are well worth a visit. The Ulster American Folk Park and the Folk and Transport museums (https://www.nmni.com/our-museums/Our-Museums.aspx) are a great way to spend a day.

Belfast is great for indoor fun - with the Ice Bowl (Dundonald) for ice skating and Indianaland and We are Vertigo for the World's largest indoor inflatable park and Ninja Warrior Course. You can also do indoor skydiving lessons.

Another lovely trip for those of you who are fans of the series, The Game of Thrones, is to do a tour of the film locations (https://visitbelfast.com/article/game-of-thrones-filming-locations-belfast-northern-ireland/).
