You’re never too far from a romantic scene in county Down which stretches from the shores of Belfast to Strangford Lough and across the Mourne Mountains. It packs in castles and luxury resorts, beaches and forest parks, a royal Palace and stately homes, historic inns and seaside hotels making it an easy choice as a wedding destination. There’s walking trails, rolling farmland, cosy villages and equally cosy pubs serving up fresh seafood and all just a couple of hours from Dublin and a short drive from Belfast.
