Extract from the Newtownards Travel Guides:
Following the A20, the single interesting sight as you near Newtownards is
Scrabo Tower
(Easter & May bank holidays and June-Sept Sat-Thurs 10.30am-6pm; free), whose looming presence dominates the surrounding area. The tower protrudes from the top of a rocky, gorse-strewn hump of a hill (a long-extinct volcano), but getting to it after you've spotted it is quite a circuit - follow the signs to
Scrabo Country Park
and you'll arrive in the car park just below. The hill itself is pitted with quarries used to extract Scrabo stone, employed for all manner of local building, including Grey Abbey
