oxford island tourist information centre印象

What a dreadful place trying to showcase lough neagh.s features n wild life. Inside the lough side building a lobby come tourist shop poorly stocked touristy free leaflets and the worst eating place in the country smelling of boiled cabbage and wet outdoor clothing displaying portioned desserts that were cut with a chain saw and lobbed on plates Over cooked meats! gravy that looked like thickened drain water. All pre war ideas .don't understand how the bosses of this complex stoop so low and how some government body has wasted so much good money on this hideous venture.

Not really sure how to describe this place. Visited on a warm July day. Park was busy with children splashing in the play pond. Staff where friendly in the visitor centre. Expected to meet more people along the paths but was actually very lonely. Where given a map but was hard to follow, would have liked to have had a few sign posts along the way as I'm sure we could have picked a better path to follow. Wouldn't be in a rush to return.

Its a lovely place to go for a walk or go with the family. there is a discovery centre with lots of information about the surrounding area and the wild life. a cafe situated in the grounds there is plenty to do including boat trips around the lough. We take our dog he loves it only thing i found dissapointing was the fact that there are signs asking you to clean up after your dog but there are hardly any bins provided so you find your carrying it around with you. on our last visit there was bags of poop left on the ground as people must have got sick of carrying it. other than that its a lovely place with beautiful views.

I can't believe how amazingly gorgeous this attraction is and right on my doorstep. There are loads of activities going on all the time that I only found out about recently to suit everyone. The walks are adapted to individual needs and abilities.

Oxford Island is in fact a peninsula, located on the shores of Lough Neagh. This is a beautiful part of Northern Ireland delightful for studying grebes of many varieties and other lakeside birds. Bring a picnic and avoid the canteen. Well worth visiting.

Had a great day out here. Picked up leaflets from the Lough Neagh Discovery Centre from very helpful staff on what wildlife to look out for on our walk around the Reserve, and what to look out for at particular Hides. The kids had a great time trying to name the different types of ducks, birds, butterflies etc. The atmosphere was great with many other families and people of all ages making the most of the good weather. And there are several walks to suit all ages or degrees of fitness. The marina was busy with boats and jet ski enthusiasts and watched on eagerly by people either walking by or relaxing having pic-nics or BBQ's. The caravan and camping site was well laid out and neat and tidy with ample facilities. We retired to the Lough shore front beside the Discovery Centre for a BBQ of our own, and the kids played in the park and paddling pool until lunch was ready. A great family day out just off junction 10 on the M1 and a gem we have driven past on many an occasion.

Lady on reception was genuinely friendly and knowledgeable. Centre was closing for the day but they did not rush us.

Attended the Discovery Centre today as a venue for employment training. Comfortable training room with good layout. Tea, coffee and scones were provided. Blowing an absolute gale outside due to the remnants of a hurricane. Good central location when participants were attending from all over the Provence. It wasn't the weather to go on the walks as it was too gusty and wet - but it was a scenic venue.

Oxford island is a partial nature reserve. It is also a watersports centre. It is on the shores of Lough Neagh and has a superb marina which has berths for about 60 boats. The wildlife is all around you, squirrels, rabbits and a huge variation of birds. It is very popular with birdwatchers from deverywhere. There is also a caravan/camp site with adjoining cafe and park for the children. This is a hidden jewel and is only seconds from the M1 motorway and only 20 minutes from Belfast. Great place for walks , you will not be dissapointed. Theres is a second cafe with the most spectacular views of the lough and an adjoining museum.

Went to oxford island restaurant it was a Sunday they were queing up for food remember me of school dinners , waited 40 minutes to get to food counter food was disappointed over cooked poor staff and bad service soup was cold suppose to be vegetable soup but more like green paint thick and bad smell of it table was dirty also cold dinner pork half burned plenty of the burned stuff thought , people were still queing up 2 get in I don't know why food disguising would not give it to my little dog The only thing about it it was cheap to pay for around about 9 pound each which was plenty for it The ducks outside entertained us Will not be back in the hurry
