Helen's Tower
Went for a dander up to Helen's Tower today.
It's a nice wee walk along a section of the Ulster Way, apparently there is a path which will link you down to Helen's Bay from the tower, I haven't investigated that yet. For those that don't know it, turn right off the Belfast - Bangor road just after Dixons garden centre, go under the railway bridge and take the first left. Pass the Clandeboye Lodge on your left and Shanks on the right, drive for about a mile and park beside the saw mill.

Helen's Tower has a twin in Thiepval, it's a memorial to the Somme veterans I think. The path continues on down the road a bit too Helen's Bay, nice on a bike when the nettles haven't taken over.

Yeah I saw that on your blog a while back, apparently the Ulster Division used to train in Clandeboye Estate prior to the Somme.
I think I was on the right path, but turned back, is it the path that continues down the back and goes through the golf course?
