Geocache Description:

This cache is a small 0.4ltr beaker located on the main road in to Groomsport. This area where the cache is placed is wheelchair accessible but the container is off the ground and would be not reachable from a chair.

The village, with a population of approximately 3,000, has a recreation ground with 2 football pitches, also a village hall situated in the historic boathouse at the harbour which dates back to 1884. A bus service links the village with Bangor which is only a few miles away. Groomsport is a popular holiday spot with a number of caravan parks situated around the village. It also boasts a very active sailing club (Cockle Island Boat Club). A new attraction for the visitor in Groomsport is Cockle Row, the old fishermen's thatched cottages which were officially opened in May 1997 after four months of complete refurbishment. The cottages have not lost their original charm with the heritage cottage depicting what Cockle Row would have been like around 1910. A lot of time and effort went into sourcing interior fittings and an exhibition of old photographs of Groomsport provides visitors with a time to reminisce. The second cottage is now a Tourist Information Centre and provides tourists and locals alike with information of places to visit accommodation and events in Northern Ireland. The cottage also sells a selection of crafts which are sourced almost entirely from the North Down area. Be sure not to miss the craft demonstrations every Sunday during July and August.
