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