Millisle is a cool village near Bangor and Ards in Northern Ireland. It is situated on the Ards Peninsula and is in County Down. This town is just a really popular coastal resort and it also sits not too far away from Belfast, which is the Northern Irish capital city. There is a marvellous windmill in Millisle called Ballycopeland.
