St Patrick Cathedral and Grave - County Down
St Patrick Cathedral and Grave. Downpatrick takes its name from the dun (fort) where a sixth-century monastery, an Augustinian church, a Benedictine church and several versions of Down cathedral, were built. The strong association with St Patrick brought many medieval religious orders to Downpatrick and the monasteries established here grew into the regional capital which, by extension, gave its name to County Down.

Strangford Lough - County Down
Strangford Lough. An area of astonishing beauty both in and out of the water, Stangford Lough lies between the great arm of land that forms the Ards Peninsula in the east and the main body of County Down in the west. With Portaferry, the town of Strangford has a stranglehold on the entrance to the lough which bears the same name, and the castle in the town was built to control traffic in and out of, as well as across, the lough.
