Holywood is a town located on the shore of Belfast Lough in County Down, Northern Ireland, just a few miles east of Belfast. The town, whose name is pronounced differently from the famous Los Angeles district Hollywood, has a rich history dating back to medieval times. Originally growing around a monastery founded by St. Laiseran in the 7th century, Holywood has evolved into a pleasant suburban town while maintaining its distinct character.
The town center features a distinctive Maypole, believed to be the only surviving one in Ireland, which reflects its historical traditions. Known for its vibrant arts scene and cultural activities, Holywood hosts various events throughout the year and has become home to numerous artisan shops and galleries. The town has also preserved much of its Victorian and Edwardian architecture, particularly along its High Street, which adds to its cultural and historical significance.
