About Kilclief

Kilclief is a small coastal village on Strangford Lough's eastern shore in County Down, reached via the A2 from Belfast (45 minutes) or Newcastle (30 minutes). The village sits where the lough meets the Irish Sea, creating powerful tidal currents. Over 10 fast EV charging points serve the area. The remarkably preserved 15th-century Kilclief Castle stands right on the water's edge.
