Newtownards:

Our church building (see top left of web page) is located in the town of Newtownards, Co Down which is about 10 miles east of Belfast in Northern Ireland. 

Newtownards, at the head of the Strangford Lough, was once a quiet market town but is now a busy manufacturing and commercial centre. In recent years it has increased in population to approx. 30,000, with many commuting daily to Belfast.

One of the dominant features of the area around Newtownards is Scrabo Tower (left), built in 1857 as a memorial to the 3rd Marquis of Londonderry, which affords impressive views over the town and also the northern part of Strangford Lough.
