Kircubbin is a village on the shores of Strangford Lough, between Greyabbey and Portaferry. Visitors can stop here at the old harbour to take in the stunning views across the bay to the Mourne Mountains in the distance.
The village harbour contains leisure craft, yachts, and a sailing club. It had a population of 1,065 people in the 2021 Census.
Echlinville Distillery in Kircubbin provides a bespoke experience for enthusiasts to visit. It became Northern Ireland's first licenced distillery in over 125 years when it distilled its first spirit in 2013. Echlinville hosts tours that offer an insight into the workings of the distillery and visitors can also sample their renowned whisky brand, Dunville and gin brands, Echlinville and Jawbox.
If you're looking for fine cuisine you should visit the famous Saltwater Brig pub which lies between Kircubbin and Portaferry and has been providing great food since 1765. The Extensive Gardens to the rear of the Brig provides picturesque views of Strangford lough which can be enjoyed whilst eating food in the summer months. For something quick and simple I'd could always recommend "Yer Coddin Me" in the main street, for a gravey or curry chip and a dander.
A local Eurospar ensures that you're never stuck for all the essentials.
