Tips from locals
A very short drive or thirty minute walk away is a restored 18th-century Gaol. You can take a journey through 9,000 years of history through the permanent exhibition 'Down Through Time' or visit the restored cell block with life-size figures of prisoners and their gaolers. Open Wed-Sat 10am-4pm. There are temporary displays throughout the year and they host the local Downpatrick Artisan Market in the courtyard every third Saturday of the month. Over twenty traders come together to sell their quality artisan food and craft products between 11am to 3pm. If you happen to be staying on the right Saturday of the month please check their facebook page to make sure it is on. It normally runs 11am-3pm.
