Folklore has it that there are 365 islands in Strangford Lough one for every day of the year but in reality its probably closer to 100. Our Rangers look after an incredibly large area of land and foreshore around Strangford Lough #EveryoneNeedsNature #discoverni #strangfordlough

Rapunzel, Rapunzel Let Down Your Hair - just where did this story originate from ? Apparently Italy, but we reckon the 'Brothers Grimm' definitely foresaw the perfect location for the fairytale.
