About the area

Situated snugly between the Irish Sea and the rolling drumlin countryside of Co. Down, Copelands enjoys an enviable position in an area steeped in history.

Copelands lies on the outskirts of Millisle, which means “meadow of the hill” and the local Ballycopeland Windmill, a late 18th century tower mill, can still be visited today.  It played a vital role during the Second World War when it provided a haven for Jewish children from Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia who had been evacuated as part of the ‘Kindertransport’ between 1939 – 1948. 

Donaghadee (from Irish: Domhnach Daoi, meaning “Daoi’s church”) lies on the northeast coast of the Ards Peninsula, about 18 miles east of Belfast. Best known for its lighthouse and harbour, it has been a haven for ships for centuries. The Motte dates back to 1818 and today is part of a public park, giving views across the town and seawards towards the Copeland Islands.

We are proud to be joining this rich history and we plan to work closely with a variety of local groups to establish close links with the Millisle and Donaghadee communities.
