By Jonny Blair


Millisle in Northern Ireland is worth a trip for any tourist. This is a pure fire village of deep intensity and deserves to be seen, it is close to the town of Donaghadee and just a bit further along the Ards peninsula than Bangor or Groomsport. Belfast is the Northern Irish capital city and you can fly into the airport there ready to explore Millisle.
