St Patrick’s homeland and the Lecale way

Phil's Journey through Journalism

Took a visit on a Monday morning to Downpatrick. Failed attempt to get to the new Athlos store though the Quoile River proved a remedy to intense work patterns.

Stroll along the Quoile was relaxing

Highlights included St Patrick’s grave overlooking the Mourne Mountains, Quoile Castle ruins and a male-female duck pair. Work being completed on Jane’s launch meant I had to reroute towards Downpatrick Mound.

Bridge on the Quoile is well preserved
The area is well signposted
