Over 800 acres! The castle has a grand view point from many angles. Great little shop, decent restrooms, sounds playing on speakers in different areas make it really feel authentic! There is also a used bookshop, which is so interesting and cute. We didn't get to try the café, but it looked like it had a good selection of snacks. The courtyard in the middle would've been a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee and a snack from the café.

Castle Ward offers a fascinating look at the opulent lifestyle of Ireland’s upper class over the past few centuries. While the beautifully preserved upstairs rooms give a strong sense of grandeur, I found myself wishing we could also explore the downstairs quarters, where the servants and working staff once lived and labored. Unfortunately, that part of the estate is currently closed to visitors. The true highlight of the visit was the volunteers. Warm, knowledgeable, and passionate, they bring the history of Castle Ward to life—and often without the recognition they deserve. If you visit, take a moment to thank them. They do this out of genuine love for the place, and it shows.

Castle Ward is a fabulous day out for the family. In addition to the house tour with its splendid architecture and story, the grounds and walks are lovely. Enjoy the stable square for coffee and bites to eat.

Lovely National Trust location. A hidden gem. Great walks and a dog friendly cafe serving indoors and outdoors in a well sheltered stable yard.

Lovely walk around the grounds have been many times and will return time and time again. The place has my heart!

We had a lovely 3hrs at Castle Ward. You enter the estate via the pretty sunken garden which is well worth a walk around. The house is not open in October on Tuesdays and in December closed Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. But check the website. Walking around the house is by tour only and the tour guide (Billy?) was excellent. Look for the very different styles of the front and back sections of the castle. The castle has stunning interiors that are looked after very well. The laundry is well worth a visit especially if you remember your mother or grandmother using the flat irons and the mangle. Plenty of marked walks and cycle tracks around the estate. I noticed bikes put out in the courtyard by staff which I guess are for hire, but check first. The trails are from 2km to 13kms and walkers and bikers are asked to walk in an anti clockwise direction. We enjoyed the Farm Trail 4km circular walk taking in the shoreline and the filming location for the Battle of Oxcross in Game of Thrones. The cafe and shop offer a good selection and we bought several books from the secondhand bookshop at very reasonable prices. In all a beautiful day at a lovely location with friendly staff.

Castle Ward is a great National Trust property by Strangford Lough. The grounds weave around the Lough edge, the house is very unique with it's two very different facades. Well worth popping into the house, walking around the stable courtyard and then visiting the Game of Thrones filming location by the waters edge.

There are lots inside this centre. As well as a shop, there is a very nice cafe upstairs, tourist information and an exhibition about St Patrick - we had intended to pay to visit that but it was closed due to it being transformed for a Halloween event. We were offered the option of watching the video that was part of the exhibition but we would have been charged full admission price so gave it a miss.

Me and my daughter went to collect her Halloween drawing price and Lucy was incredible help. She showed us the place and let us watch the st Patrick history. Very welcoming place to be. And I’m shocked of the nice cafe upstairs that I didn’t know of. We will be coming back!

Great central location. Wonderful selection of local souvenirs and crafts. Very clean facilities. But I must remark on how impressed we all were with the upstairs café. Amazing coffee and equally likable staff. Definitely worth a stop off here.

I absolutely loved the St. Patrick Centre in the heart of Downpatrick. It is a well-done exhibition of his life, ministry and lasting cultural impact on the world. Great for families. Highly recommend on your trip to Downpatrick! Pro Tips: - Pay for the tour, it’s well worth it - Your toddler may be a bit scared of the darker rooms, but there’s a nice kids area at the end with coloring, dress-up and stained glass designing

1/5 – The Manager Looked Through Me Like I Wasn’t There This should have been a meaningful cultural visit. Instead, it was humiliating, thanks to the openly hostile behavior of Patricia, the manager. I asked for help as a wheelchair user looking for the restroom — but I was interrupted mid-sentence by Patricia answering a phone call, walking away as if my words didn’t matter. As if I didn’t matter. I waited, hoping it was an emergency call. It wasn’t. When I tried again, she dismissed me without a word and turned to a young male visitor behind me, practically glowing with fake charm and flirtatiousness. She walked away with disgust looking down at me like I was a stain on the floor. Let’s be clear: this was no accident. This was targeted, deliberate exclusion. By the time I found the restroom, it was too late. I was left crying in a stall, trying to clean myself up from an avoidable accident that happened because a person in a position of responsibility decided I didn’t deserve help. Accessibility is not optional. Compassion is not negotiable. And Patricia’s conduct should be a warning to every disabled visitor considering stepping foot inside this place.

What a gem! We came to see St Patricks grave and stumbled upon this center. They have a beautiful museum and great quality audio visual presentation. Nice cafe and gift shop as well. Staff was very welcoming. Wish I had spent more time here, but we had to leave not to miss another tickered event. Make this an 1 hour stop at least when you travel and soak it up!

A great structured building easily out, we didn't do the full tour but just spoke to a local bishop who was there Had a look around the shop, had a cake and coffee always great to support local tourist areas

Fantastic museum with lots of exhibitions. Staff are very friendly. Toilets available. The cafe was closed when we went but it was Christmas so that could be why. Lots of history from the Neolithic period to nowadays, seaside towns, and farming.

What an amazing museum... and it's free! Will go going back to take it all in more. Displays are thoughtfully put together cover a massive timeline of Northern Irish history. Well worth a visit!

Brill quiet part of Downpatrick. We have been going to this museum for years. Not overly big but plenty to see & do. Lovely views from the cafe highly recommend & then into Downpatrick to be steeped in history.

Huge site with potentially lots of space for new exhibits. What we saw was well presented with good illumination, easy to read information boards and even costumes we could try on. Although there was not a lot of the site used what was there kept us reading so that by closing time we still hadn't viewed most things thoroughly. Another visit will be required and entrance was free so I hope to be back to take in more of what was on display.

Now here is a little treasure... Sometimes you stumble upon a place that is friendly and welcoming. Sometimes you find a place that is informative and interesting. Occasionally you will find something that is free.... This place is all three! A great use of the former gaol, the museum is one of the finest local museums I have visited. I am not a great fan of waxworks but they have excellent ones here. A visit here is a must for anybody passing ... and it's free (or was when I went there).

Really friendly, helpful staff. Much bigger than anticipated with a variety of exhibition : county down history, gaol life, the workhouse, agriculture and the stone cross

A very enjoyable experience enhanced by a great tour guide Christopher who is very knowledgeable and very friendly 😀. If you enjoy your historical buildings would strongly recommend a visit. Guided tours FOC weekdays at 2pm.

Great place to explore with information boards to learn of the history. Accessed by a fairly small lane with ample free car park.

Beautiful views and ruins! Nothing overly exciting but worth a visit.

This ruins has a nice history located beside the Strangford Lough

Very beautiful and picturesque place, 3 plaques around showing and telling you the history of Inch Abbey. Nice area to have a picnic if you want. Short walk to Inch Abbey from the Car Park, but plenty of walking to do around it.

Lovely quiet place to spend 30 mins to an hour. The car park is small, but we've always got a space when we've visited.

Enjoyed seeing Inch Abbey We had our lunch at one of the picnic tablee

Having visited Furness Abbey, in Northern England, a few months ago, I was interested to read that this Cistercian Abbey was originally founded with monks brought over from Furness to create Inch Abbey in the 1100s. There are still considerable ruins and you get a good view of St Patrick's Cathedral across the river Quoile. This site is free to visit and there are several useful information panels that explain the history and different parts of the Abbey. There is a free car park nearby too.

This is such an amazing heritage railway! We went today for the Shamrock Express train and it did not disappoint! The staff were all super friendly and made loads of chat with us about trains. I was even given a cab ride which was amazing. The whole railway was really well maintained and the trains - although definitely worn - are still in great working order (well, some of them at least). I would really recommend a visit and supporting the railway is crucial for it to improve and get steam trains running again. I will certainly come again!

A really lovely day with super helpful staff and fantastically maintained carrages. The 121 was the star of the show.

A great day at the Easter Eggspress. A little hidden gem in Downpatrick that I had never visited before despite growing up in the area. My husband and son were here on St. Patrick's Day and loved it so we will be back for more events soon!

Not much going on. 98% scrap with a workshop tour. The train journey was nice but very short. My kids went for the miniature train set but it's not there anymore. Sorry guys. Not great

One of the best heritage lines I've visited. The ride to Inch Abbey is scenic and the abbey itself were pleasant to visit. It was even possible to see where the DCDR went towards Belfast when arriving at Inch. The museum galleries feature signalling equipment and stories of line building, cuts and rejuvenation. Check online for running days as they don't run all the time.

Absolutely amazing, I'm in no way a train enthusiast but I was very impressed with not only the friendly, enthusiastic staff (who clearly love volunteering here) but also the museum of old railway cars and a vast amount of information & pictures about railways in Northern Ireland. The short train journey was great - the steam train made it. Young & old will love to visit.

Visited at Halloween. The acting group,Avalar , are excellent. We've been for the past 3 Years.I cannot recommend it highly enough.Great family entertainment.

As is common with similar sites, the current building is the latest version and incorporates parts of previous churches. The style of this is unmistakably gothic and the layout is quite different to other churches. When we visited, there were some interesting needlework memorials to those who died during the troubles. As you leave the building, turn left to view St Patrick's grave. Free to enter.

Beautiful Cathedral holding an imposing position over Downpatrick and the rolling County Down hills. To its benefit it retains the pew booths atmosphere of an old church. With the claimed burial site of Saint Patrick in its graveyard it is regularly open through the day and hold a small gift shop and very helpful volunteer staff to assist with your visit.

Lovely church to visit and is the location of St.Patrick's grave. The church was nice to visit and the people inside were lovely and happy to answer any questions.

No trip to Down is complete with out a visit to the final resting place of St Patrick. Interesting to read up on the history

Highly recommend visiting this Cathedral! The staff were so friendly and excited to welcome us in. The pew arrangement is unusual, and the windows and pipe organ are gorgeous. Make sure to take a look at the window that depicts scenes from St. Patrick's life as well!

Resting place for 3 of Ireland's Saints. This is the last resting place if St Patrick. The original cathedral was restored 200 years ago to best represent its predecessor. A must visit.

Down Cathedral in Downpatrick is a captivating blend of history and spirituality. The medieval charm, coupled with a serene atmosphere, creates a reverent experience. St. Patrick's tomb is a focal point, inviting reflection. The knowledgeable staff and adjoining graveyard add depth to the visit. Whether you seek history or tranquility, Down Cathedral is a must-visit, offering a profound connection to Ireland's past and St. Patrick's enduring legacy.

Thoroughly enjoyed the tour. David explained the process of gin making very clearly and we really appreciated the informative and informal nature of the tour. Felt very able to ask questions. Also really enjoyed our 'perfect gin making' class - ice is the key!! Really lovely. It was great to keep our glasses but we probably would have appreciated a second gin more (only 1 provided per person and half a tonic - I hadn't read that bit properly) as the gin is so lovely! Absolutely beautiful grounds to walk in before or after. They've worked hard to create such a lovely setting.

Great day out and learnt lots more than expected and could feel the passion throughout. Had a great time, some great cocktails and tasted amazing gins. Also met some great people on the tour which really rounded it off. Highly recommended and they even lovely cocktails for my wife who was driving.

We had such an enjoyable afternoon here with Craig who is an absolute gin and whiskey expert. His knowledge and expertise is second to none. We had a really interesting and informative tour through the distillery followed by a gin tasting, where we got to experience the true taste and aroma’s of the gin itself. A beautiful setup in a beautiful area. A really enjoyable time and you get your very own Shortcross glass. I’m looking forward to going back for a Tipsy Tea.

Dave, Owen, and Fiona were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating! I had a broken leg and they made sure I was able to sit for portions of the tour. Dave gave me some great book recommendations and the whiskey was delicious. I would highly recommend a visit!

Miserable weather, was forgotten when entering the distillery. Warm, welcoming, friendly greeting from Fiona. Due to cancellations we were the only two taking the tour. David one of the owners was friendly talkative and very knowledgeable, on what is partly a hobby and a business. They are passionate about what they do and this shows in the quality of the processes and end product. David demonstrated the art of pouring the perfect gin. You will need to go as I am not divulging any secrets!! As part of the cost you have a bottle of gin each to which you add a label,write a message and then get to hot wax the seal. See pic of gold seal attached. We bought some more product along with a lemon drizzle gin. As we were going out for dinner that night we copied the pouring lesson and enjoyed a lovely G &T. Thanks, Fiona & David for a great day

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff at the distillery. However, felt the gin tour was quite short, and it would also have been nice to have been able to sample a couple more of their gins. Maybe this is something that could be considered for future tours. Enjoyed the G&T lesson at the end. Lovely shop onsite where I took advantage of the £5 off and purchased a bottle of Rosies Gin, having already had this before. I may have purchased more gins if other samples had been offered.

Attended the gin tasting experience with friends over the weekend. It was brilliant, Craig showed us around and was very knowledgeable and passionate about everything to do with the brand. Lovely afternoon out all round, would definitely recommend giving it a try.

One of my absolute favourite spots in N.I. A fantastic neolithic stone circle in the middle of the county Down countryside, about three miles south of Downpatrick. Access is a 5-10 min walk via a long Holloway and then into a field. There's about 50 stones and a cairn, and superb views of the Mournes. Be aware parking at the site is very limited, along a narrow country road. Paths and field can get muddy, and there is sometimes livestock freely roaming. Something else to note is a recent tradition of leaving offerings at the site. The path in has had a number of fairy doors added, alongside various offerings. At times this can build up and looks rather untidy, with an abundance of plastic toys. A tree that has grown up over the last 20 years in the circle itself has been adopted as a clootie tree. If you must leave something here, please limit it to organic biodegradable fabrics like wool and linen. The general rule when visiting a site like this is to leave no trace - enjoy the space but respect it's importance.

What magical little gem this is! Found it when searching for stone circles and so glad we did. Park up at the side of the road and follow the sign to the tree tunnel that looks like it was taken straight out of lord of the rings. People (very wisely) have left little trinkets for the fairies along the tunnel and some have even made little houses. The storm circle itself is very impressive, some of the largest stones we have seen and very well preserved. There is a Hawthorne tree in the circle which people have tied strips of fabric to make wishes and some more little gifts have been left here too. A very quiet and peaceful place surrounded by sheep, fresh air and wonder. Definitely a must see if down that neck of the woods or make a day of it and head to st John's point lighthouse afterwards.

Epic. The feel of this place is immeasurable. You have to visit. I was not expecting such a beautiful setting and feeling. I was buzzing when I left. Treat it with reverence. 🙏

Excellent stone circle with beautiful views and a lovely walk down to it along a gorse path. Highly recommend. Very little parking, just be aware.

Unusual historical site off the beaten track. Very few other visitors there. interesting and worth seeing. Note parking may be a problem

A lovely walkway down to the circle with lots of quirky gifts for the fairys

We took a trip up here on the sunniest day! Pretty hard to spot off the road, I drive past the tiny lane way a couple of times but was worth the effort when we got there. Gorgeous little path a little like the dark hedges but in miniature form... covered in ribbons and little teddies and fairy doors. The stone circle itself is interesting and sits in a field with stunning views all round. Look out for the fairy tree too!

Lovely rural old church , thankful to have been able to visit this chapel as we departed on "Walk the Cross"

This is a local Chapel which we prefer to go to. They do the river of roses in the summer which is beautiful, you pay for a rose for a lost one and they do it up as the grotto inLourdes. Adoration is Tue. Priest is lovely and very kind.

Always a nice walk from Portaferry "around the circuit!"..you'll Always meet someone in the cemetery within the grounds

Beautiful church, lovely service and was made to feel very welcome

It's a beautiful serene place for private prayer

This is a beautiful chapel just situated down the road from St Patrick's monument.

Mass love joy with father John murray

It is an interesting ruined fortified tower rather than a castle. The Tower itself can't be accessed either. However, there is a helpful information board next to the tower which gives context to the building. The visitor centre was closed when we visited. The gardens seem well maintained too. It also contain quite a few picnic benches. Free car parking is available for approximately ten cars. Access to the Quoile Pondage Nature Reserve and riverside walk is just across the road. I wouldn't recommend travelling any great distance to visit here although it is worthwhile visiting if you are in the local area.

Next to the Quoile Countryside Centre, this is a tower house built in the early 1600s. You can't go inside but I did manage to take a few photos through the entrance door. There is an information panel outside providing more information about the history of the castle in context with the local area. Free to view from outside only.

Growing up in Downpatrick as a kid one of my favorite memories was cycling on our bmx's down to the Quoile river with a back pack full of sandwiches to go fishing for Rud & Perch with friends, even though not a single one of use really knew how to fish, we would have watched the regulars took advice and learned as we went along lol. Now i live 30 miles away, but i still drive down occasionally to take a long walk and have a picnic with my wife, my son and our dog, especially on a good day like today. It's been updated quite a bit over the years with new smooth tarmac walkways, wheelchair freindly ramps, wheelchair accessible picnic benches and wooden jetty things so you can walk out on to the water for a better view, it's also a G.O.T filming location. Such a lovely part of the world, the older you get the more you appreciate the scenery it provides.

A bit confusing when you're there for the first time! The walk is actually across the road from the car park, through a little green gate, and there are no signs to suggest this until you are through that gate. The tower (not a castle) itself is not much to see, unfortunately, as it is blocked off from public access and only half is visible from inside the site. You can see the other side by walking out of the site and going up the grass path on your right, but whether this was public access land was unclear as it backed onto a house. This site could benefit from some TLC as the path around the visitor centre is mostly blocked by overgrown plants, and also some signage for first time visitors. It appears as though the centre is permanently closed according to the Discover NI website. Turning left on the walk takes you out to the junction between Quoile Road and Mearne Road, around 0.3 miles. I didn't venture in the other direction!

Great place to walk and fed the ducks. Quiet, friendly people. Peaceful afternoon 😉

It's one of the 16th century tower houses which were common around the County Down coast at the time. It's been restored (but not too much, like Carrick castle or the one in Newry that I can't remember its name, for example) However, in 5 years of living beside it , I've only been in it once: it seems to only be open for European Heritage Open Days (mid-September). I've never seen it open any other time. This makes it open 2 days each year more than Strangford Castle, Jordans Castle or Kirkistown Castle. Come on Newry and Mourne Council! You can do better.

Just a lovely place to take the kids for a Sunday walk and feed the birds

Amazing sand beach I have ever been to. Before that I though Downhill beach was the best in Northern Ireland, but now I give Tyrella beach the same rank. It is not as wide as Downhill but it is so clean because dogs are not allowed here. The white, fine sand is very nice for kids to play. There is also a good view the of Mourne mountain. It definitely worth a GO every sunny day.

Best avoided in June, July and August and especially on summer public holidays as it can be really bunged. Note that the local Council charge for admission to the beach during the summer months. I don't know how much they charge because, as stated above, I avoid going to Tyrella during this period I prefer to go on a stormy day in the winter and then you might be the only person on the beach.

Gorgeous beach. Fantastic sunsets and good for dog and safe for young children due to the very gentle slope and wide open views.

Love this beach it's always spotless and kept well. Always packed. Has coffee van which does alot and also an ice cream van. There's life guards on beach too. Highly recommend to visit here

Walk onto Tyrella Beach and walk right, head up to the White House and cottages. Stick left of the White House and keep walking. You will discover two beautiful beaches and a seat to sit on and enjoy the view of the Mourne Mountains

Beautiful beach for a lovely barefoot walk along. Was £4 to park in the carpark which I thought was a bit expensive though. There were toilets and they were clean.

Love this beach! Fab for a run out with the kids, the dog or the horse! Great views of the Mournes and an amazing country wear and saddlery shop close by!

An interesting and historic site based around a local stream. There are remains of an historic chapel and wells. Also great for dogs as entirely contained with gates and beautiful stone wall.

Interesting place, just wish the wells were not locked. You can still see into most but would have been better if opened so we could enter inside.

A really interesting place. , a lot of historical facts. And amazing old buildings. Not one other person there when we visited. Which made it all the more enjoyable highly recommended

An quite interesting although small site. There are a few information boards around the site. There is free car parking for approximately six vehicles. There are no other facilities. Sadly there was some dog mess lying in the grass so watch where you put your feet. This site is worthwhile visiting for a short time if you are in the local area.

Part of the St. Patricks trail, interesting site with beautiful views a few miles from Downpatrick. Great stop for a picnic. No toliets/services available.

Very interesting Holy Wells and Bath house in small enclosed site. Car park adjacent.

All the buildings were padlocked except for the eye well, only took 2 minutes to walk around it so not really worth the 55 minutes it took getting there.

Great location- just a mile from Downpatrick town centre. Smooth admission- no queues. Friendly staff throughout. Fantastic atmosphere all day. Not too overcrowded in any area/bar, and plenty of outdoor space/areas to venture to. Reasonably priced beverages & food (would like more food options mind you!) Fantastic race track - compact & easy to navigate. All in all, I love the place Very cheesy music after though!! 😂

My husband and me both love Downpatrick Racecourse the staff Ruth, Richard, Kate, Tracey and Gertrude and Pip are all brilliant. We love the experience with the meal in the Brownlow Suite. It has great views over the track. Would recommend this racecourse to all our friends and family. It deserves more the 5 🌟 . Hope to be back next year can't wait for the great experience we always get even if we can't pick too many winners. Anne @ James xx

We had a great day all round. Some winnings, great food platter and a good day's craic. We had booked seats in the Dunluce suite but next time we would probably skip this part as you cannot see the track from here and spent most time outside anyway.

Had a cracking day at the races, will definitely return soon!

Always a great day .. try to attend all the meetings. Great job from Richard , Ruth and Denvets staff . Great food options from wrap n roll and the hatch . Few winners always helps

Rained all day.BUT we had a great day out .staff were friendly and helpful nothing was to much trouble. The £35 package we got Inc food a drink a £5-00 bet raffle free entry and a. Lovely social Room with TVs video screens. Go again 100%. Regards len

Absolutely amazing day with family and friends. Great food, great drink prices, course was spotless, fantastic atmosphere. Will defo be back!!

Excellent staff. No problems at any time.

Lovely little library, staff are always very friendly and accomodating. The categories aren't broken down deeply, so finding fantasy or sci-fi can be difficult, but it's a great place to browse for books. Lots of table space and has a number of activities on. We even attended a lovely mid-day string quartet event that was held this year (2023).

This is the second time during the lockdown that i have phoned and ordered books to be chosen for me - spoke to Lorna this time who was very pleasant and helpful - she asked what type of book i like and on collection found them to be better than i could have chosen myself - i have always had great service and helpfulness from the staff and can highly recommend

Fantastic place. So glad it's open again after lockdown. Look forward to visiting again very soon

Love place read 📚 book online paper 📃

Very helpful friendly staff.

Very lovely staff

Went to see Thursdays with Elvis this afternoon. It was absolutely brilliant! Great storyline. Great music. The actors were fantastic!

Enjoyed Eamonn Holmes evening. Friendly, helpful staff at reception. Good experience.

Really nice venue for the arts! High recommend there art gallery space

Great local venue. Auditorium is cozy and just right for most shows.

Went there to do some training. The staff were very helping on setting up. Seemed to be lots going on and to be a real community space. The participants told me of all the events and classes they had been to and recommended the place. As I was leaving there sad a choir practise going on and it w lovely to hear the singing

Stunning exhibition space. A lovely mix of old architecture with new. Great lighting and atmosphere. Helpful knowledgeable staff. And plenty of varied theatre performances.

Very friendly staff. Great place to visit and " get some culture"
