Take a glimpse into
the fascinating life of Saint
Patrick with a trip to scenic County
Down.
With a history that
covers over 7,000 years, Down is
blessed with a wealth of heritage
sites, but the most famous of all is
Downpatrick, where Ireland’s patron
saint is reputed to be buried.
County Down is a
picturesque spot filled mostly with
low, rolling hills that contrast
spectacularly with the rugged
Mountains of Mourne and Slieve
Donnard, which rise dramatically to
a height of 848 metres.Strangford Lough,
meanwhile, is an abundant nature
reserve with seals, geese, terns and
wildfowl nestling amidst its
peaceful shores.
