This beautifully crafted vintage-inspired travel poster by Picturskew captures the charm and character of the Portaferry ferry docked at the edge of Strangford Lough, with the majestic Mourne Mountains rising in the distance.
Designed in a nostalgic retro style, the poster features a scenic coastal view of Portaferry, where the iconic ferry rests beside a sandy dock. A trio of vintage cars — in classic blue, yellow, and red — adds a timeless touch, while three figures stand admiring the peaceful waters and rolling hills. Overhead, birds soar across a partly cloudy sky, completing the tranquil scene.
The bold text “Visit Strangford – Northern Ireland” invites viewers to explore this picturesque corner of County Down, known for its natural beauty, maritime heritage, and relaxed pace of life.
The Portaferry–Strangford ferry is one of Northern Ireland’s most scenic and historic crossings, linking the Ards Peninsula with the village of Strangford across the narrow mouth of Strangford Lough. Operating since the 12th century in various forms, today’s modern ferry continues a tradition of connection and community.
In the background, the Mourne Mountains provide a dramatic silhouette — a beloved landmark and designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. Their rugged peaks and sweeping valleys have inspired generations of artists and writers, including C.S. Lewis.
