From prehistoric stone circles to ruined castles, don’t hesitate to explore County Down’s countryside and villages! There’s plenty to see and do, and it’s well worth the detour! And don’t miss the county capital: Downpatrick. This picturesque village is home to the tomb of Saint Patrick, the patron saint of the Irish, who helped evangelize Ireland in the 5th century!
