Geocache Description:


The Belfast and County Down Railway.

The main line of the Belfast and County Down Railway ran from the Queen’s Quay station at Belfast and proceeded via Dundonald, Comber, Ballygowan, Saintfield, Ballynahinch Junction and Crossgar to Downpatrick.

Branches of the line also ran from Comber to Newtownards and onwards to Donaghadee, from Ballynahinch Junction to Ballynahinch, from Downpatrick to Ardglass via Bright, Ballynoe, Killough and Coney Island, and from Ballymacarrett Junction to Bangor.

The line was closed in 1950

There is very little evidence of the railway left, on the ground at least.

The Cache is on a small pathway that runs along the old track bed. The path runs from what was the Millisle Road Halt and continues towards the bridge on the Killoughy Road.

The Cache is a Micro. 

Please tuck it up safely when you've finished.
