Greyabbey Abbey App
First on the show we're at Strangford Lough and the village of Greyabbey on the Ards Pennisula, County Down. Seven miles from Newtownards, it's never been easier not only to find this wonderful place but to find out about it as well. Greyabbey has its own brand new App to accompany its new heritage trail. We find out more about it all from tourism officer Rosie Richardson.
The App is available for free聽on your app store, just search "Greyabbey Heritage Trail"

Rathlin Island Rambling
We're also taking a quick nip to Rathlin Island via Seaforde in County Down. Seaforde is where we'll find Tracey Platt, who will be leading the way though the National Nature Reserve in Rathlin - Kebble and Kinramer.
That guided walk on Rathlin is next Tuesday, July 15th. Meet at the gates to Kebble and Kinramer at 12pm.聽All you need for this free event is binoculars, a camera and a picnic! 聽

Omagh Baptist Church
Almost 200 years ago work began on the establishment of a Baptist Church in Omagh and now, nearly two centuries later, the church has just officially opened a brand new state of the art building. It's on the Deverney Road on the outskirts of the town - a big change from where they'd been on the Mountjoy Road, as Conor McKay discovered with local woman and lead Architect, Clare Aiken.
You can contact the church at 028 80757210 or email info@omaghbaptist.org
Sion Mills
After forever passing through and thinking how lovely it is, Ann-Marie finally gets to explore Sion Mills. Word on the street was the best woman to show us around was local lady Georgina McClintock, and boy were they right! We hear about Sion Mills history and Georgina's love for the place.
Next time you're in Sion Mills, stop, park the car, get out and walk around. Just say YPAM sent you!
