Delamont Country Park is located on the shores of Strangford Lough in County Down, Northern Ireland. It covers an area of approximately 200 acres 2 km south of Killyleagh.[1] It is currently maintained by Newry, Mourne and Down District Council having previously been under the control of Down District Council.[2]
In addition to a visitor centre with office, shop and information point the park contains a campsite managed by the Camping and Caravanning Club.[3] There is also a seasonal miniature railway with a 1 km track and at the highest point stands the Strangford Stone (Millennium Stone), the tallest megalith in Ireland which was erected in 1999 using the power of 1000 volunteers.[4] However, it was broken in two when erected.[5] There is also a heronry within the park.[6]
The park is licensed for the performance of civil partnership and marriage ceremonies.[7]
In July 2016 the world community coastal rowing championships "Skiffie Worlds 2016" was held over a 2 km course on Strangford Lough at Delamont.[8]
