Welcome to Holywood

Holywood (Ard Mhic Nasca) is a town in County Down, Northern Ireland, on the shores of Belfast Lough, between Belfast and Bangor. Holywood was named Sanctus Boscus ("Holy Wood") by the Normans after the woodland surrounding a monastery founded by St Laiseran before 640.

The town hosts an annual jazz and blues festival.
