Leer alles over het fascinerende leven van Saint Patrick tijdens uw verblijf in het mooie County Down. 

Naast een verleden van ruim 7000 jaar is Down gezegend met een weelde aan historische monumenten. Maar het beroemdste is toch wel Downpatrick, waar de patroonheilige van Ierland zou zijn begraven. 

County Down is een schilderachtige streek met zacht glooiende heuvels die een spectaculair contrast vormen met het ruige en imposante Mourne-gebergte en Slieve Donnard, dat 848 meter hoog oprijst. 

Strangford Lough daarentegen is een weelderig natuurgebied met zeehonden, ganzen, sterns en wilde vogels die op de vredige oevers nestelen.
