Donaghadee, Down, Ireland

388. Donaghadee

Donaghadee an interesting seaside town with a lighthouse and a very big harbour, is the nearest Irish port to Great Britain. From the sixteenth to the nineteenth century Donaghadee was a major port that offered the only safe refuge from the treacherous reefs on this coast. In the expectation that the town would remain the mail packet station for Scotland, the harbour was greatly enlarged in 1820.

Downpatrick, Down, Ireland

390. Downpatrick

Downpatrick takes its name from the dun (fort) where a sixth-century monastery, an Augustinian church, a Benedictine church and several versions of Down cathedral, were built. The strong association with St Patrick brought many medieval religious orders to Downpatrick and the monasteries established here grew into the regional capital which, by extension, gave its name to County Down.
