How to get to Mount Oriel by car:

If using Google Maps, put “Mount Oriel Portstewart” into the search bar and it will take you to the front of the property. It can be quite busy on the Promenade during holiday periods and there is a one hour parking limit. However, there is also an entrance at the rear of the property which opens onto Church Street. This is also where the one car garage is. Put “Agherton Parish Office'' into the Google Maps search bar, and we can meet you there as it is directly across the street from our back door. The door and garage door are a maroon colour, and the number 74 is on the door.

There is secure parking for one car in our garage, but it is not suitable if you have a roof box on your car. Please check the height first to ensure your vehicle will fit. If more than one car is being used, there is on street parking, or you can park in Convention Avenue Car Park which is a pay and display car park. Parking is free on a Sunday.
