A short walk down the path reveals views of an otherwise inaccessible coastline. View this sculpture by Ralf Sander at just the right angle to discover "The Smuggler" otherwise he blends into the landscape. The Bloody Bridge is named after a gruesome massacre. During the O'Neill's rebellion of 1641, the bodies of slain prisoners were thrown over the bridge into the river, turning it red.

This is a fantastic walk for a lovely sunny day. Locals call this “Bluebell wood” due to the immense amount of bluebells further up the path. There is a lookout on down the narrow path at the end which you can climb out the wall and it takes you directly out onto strangford Lough and beach.
