Castle Espie is an Estate that has been turned into a wildfowl refuge. It lies near the upper end of Strangford Lough. This picture was taken looking northwest from Castle Espie towards Newtownards and Scrabo Tower which lies to the south of the town. The second picture is of Scrabo Tower. "Castle Espie is a wetland reserve managed by the Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust (WWT) on the banks of Strangford Lough, three miles south of Comber, County Down, Northern Ireland. It is part of the Strangford Lough Ramsar Site. It provides an early wintering site for almost the entire Nearctic population of Pale-bellied Brent Geese. The Castle which gave the reserve its name no longer exists."
