In June if you walk near the shingle beach southwards towards Ballyquinton you will see Horned Poppies growing. They are quite large. They have beautifully curled pale grey green leaves and large floppy yellow flowers. It is the seed pods that are ‘horned’.
This is the only place in N. I. Where these spectacular wild flowers grow.
