The site has a pivotal role in Ireland’s mining heritage
Whitespots, a North Down Country park famed for Game Of Thrones is to receive £8.5M redevelopment funding from Stormont .
A portion of the park is designated as an Area of Special Scientific Interest in recognition of the site’s mineralogy. It has a pivotal role in Ireland’s mining heritage. "This project will provide a significant capital injection in the area and will develop our local environment to provide much needed green space for citizens.”
The funding will also enable the restoration of some of the historical features of the park including the old mine shafts and the windmill towers; as well as enhancement of the woodland in line with the council’s biodiversity strategy.
