Portaferry is a small historic town located at the southern end of the Ards Peninsula in County Down, Northern Ireland. Situated on the shores of Strangford Lough, the town has played an important role in maritime history and trade. The town's name comes from the Irish "Port an Pheire," meaning "landing place of the ferry," referring to the centuries-old ferry service that connects Portaferry to Strangford village across the lough.
The town features notable Georgian architecture, particularly along The Square and Church Street, reflecting its prosperity during the 18th and 19th centuries. A significant cultural landmark is Portaferry Castle, a 16th-century tower house built by the Savage family. The town is also home to Exploris Aquarium, Northern Ireland's only aquarium, which showcases the marine life of Strangford Lough and serves as an important educational center.
