A night in gaol to remember!

Downpatrick Gaol was opened in 1796 and until its closure in 1830, was the holding place for many thousands of prisoners before their transportation to Australia but for us, our evening in gaol was one to remember and we didn’t want to leave! 

Join us in Down County Museum for an evening to remember. Sample the delights of Savour Visit Mourne's food and drink producers with the opportunity to buy and take home this amazing local produce.

From local folklore we are told that there once was a city where Carlingford Lough is now – the beautiful Cahir Linn. The sunken city was supposedly located near Carlingford in Co. Louth overlooked by Slieve Foy, the mountain which was once an active volcano.
