Seaforde Gardens and Tropical Butterfly House

Seaforde is a hidden gem in Co Down. There are beautiful gardens to explore, peacocks and peahens roam freely in the grounds and there is, of course, a lovely little cafe. However, the highlight for us was the tropical butterfly house. Here you walk through an indoor tropical forest where butterflies fly all around you and sometimes even land on you. You can watch them feeding on flowers and fruit and you can also see a selection of cocoons / chrysalides. Perfect for teaching the kids about the lifecycle of a butterfly!
