Blackwood Golf Centre, set in one of the most beautiful parts of County Down, at Clandeboye Estate, has encountered a most welcome reprieve. Here's the article.
Lady Dufferin, who owns the Estate, has saved the day by purchasing the golf centre. The golf club comprises 234 acres of the beautiful 2,000 acre Clandeboye demesne.
I wonder if any thought has been given to resurrecting a restaurant of Shanks' calibre, cognizant of the tragedy which caused its closure some years ago. Shank's Restaurant operated within the clubhouse and was awarded a Michelin Star (one of a mere three 1-star restaurants in the Province at that time).
Blackwood takes its name from the family surname of the Marquesses of Dufferin and Ava.
