Creighton's Green Road Climb

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

Decent climb. Your reward is brilliant panoramic views of Belfast Lough below. Testy gradient From Holywood, but much easier drag up if approached from Newtownards / Scrabo Road.

View of Scrabo Tower from Killynether Wood

Highlight • Forest

Always worth the ascent. If only for the view towards Sliev Croob and the Mournes. Beautiful patch work of swollen hills, cut by colourful fields, that meander all the way …

Killynether Wood

Highlight • Forest

It's a peaceful encounter trailing through the woods of Killynether. The woods are on the grounds of a former estate and the beautiful medley of flowers and trees is the result of some keen planters back in the 19th century.
