Description
A fantastic opportunity to acquire the historic Dunnyneill Islands, beautifully located on Strangford Lough, approximately 2.5 km off the coast of Killyleagh.
The islands, comprise of a larger and a smaller island linked by a causeway at low tide and, uniquely of all the islands in Strangford Lough, they are strategically located to command the narrows at the Lough´s mouth.
The main island is formed from a small drumlin with a boulder clay core. It is roughly D-shaped and rises to a height of circa 16 metres above sea level. The southern side of the island is defined by a steep cliff which faces towards the mouth of the Lough. The islands are now home to a range of Flora and Fauna.
Over the years, excavations have taken place on Dunnyneill Island and have revealed it was once used as a seventh century trading emporium frequented by merchants from as far afield as modern day Russia, Germany, Iceland and France.
This is a unique opportunity to own a piece of Irelands history on the shores of Strangford Lough.
