A Tasty Trip into County Down at Tracey’s Farmhouse Kitchen
Do you ‘knead' a taste of Ireland right now? Today's guest has an Irish bread making experience you can try in your own home – or in her thatch cottage in the North of Ireland.
Irish mythology and modern tragedy… The warmth of whiskey and the cool spray of the North Atlantic… And the opportunity to get hands-on with Irish traditions passed down through the years…
From Belfast to Bushmills and on to Derry, this tour leads our group of Squires through the legends, history, and marvels of ‘the North'.
This article is based on a podcast episode featuring Tracey Jeffery, the owner of Tracey's Farmhouse Kitchen. If you prefer to listen to the podcast, you can find the player at the bottom of the page.
Irish Baking Experience at Tracey's Farmhouse Kitchen
Meet My Guest: Tracey Jeffery
Tracey welcomes you into her home kitchen – admittedly not the tidiest or fanciest – but one that is lived in and loved. Her thatch cottage is located on the shores of Strangford Lough, just 30 minutes from Belfast, in County Down.
Highlights of County Down
An area of Outstanding Natural Beauty
Strangford Lough is the largest inlet of water in the British Isles. As a protected body of water there is a large amount of wildlife. It has over 300 tiny islands and is a perfect place for kayaking and an island picnic.
County Down is known for its ‘drumlins', small, low, rounded hills that resemble a basket of eggs.
The Mourne Mountains in the south of the county are mystical, magical, and beautiful.
County Down is an unspoilt area, and definitely the ‘road less traveled'.
