Castle Espie Wetland Centre and Scrabo Country Park are two of the standouts — wildlife on the water and woodland trails with views across the hills.
The mix covers farms, soft play, free skate parks and castle ruins. There's indoor cover on wet days and free outdoor visits when the sun's out — Nendrum Monastic Site and the Newtownards to Mount Stewart Shore Walk are both worth adding to the list.
