Northern Ireland Armagh & Down
Come and visit the beautiful Armagh & Down region of Northern Ireland, childhood home of C.S Lewis and the inspiration for the magical world of Narnia. Here you can trace the birthplace of famous Irish myths to dizzyingly beautiful mountain ranges, sail over great inland seas and discover a bewitching natural world of unique Loughs and islands.
Why not walk along the same soil path as St Patrick, see where he addressed his first sermon, and then visit Struell where St Patrick blessed the wells and move on to Downpatrick where you will encounter the church which St Patrick built. There are also the remainders of Inch Abbey in Downpatrick, located alongside the enchanting Quoile River. To capture the feel of Georgian life in County Down then Castle Ward is a must visit place, the breathtaking mansion is bursting with grand art work and antique furniture and ornaments. Neighboring the mansion is a glorious tranquil lake where wild birds are often spotted; all this creates the perfect backdrop for a relaxing day out. Take a day trip to Murlogh, where the sand dunes have sign posted walkways for visitors to discover and find out about all the plantlife and wildlife, the geology and the history of these magnificent dunes.
