Situated at the heart of an undulating region with an abundance of historic sites, the main town in County Down has managed to preserve a certain charm. Here, you can enjoy its delightful tranquillity as you stroll along its picturesque hilly streets or along Strangford Lough. The town is laid out around four main streets which climb steeply from the market square. A major part of the country's Christian history, for centuries it has attracted pilgrims who come to visit the tomb of St Patrick.
