St Patrick's National Monument

Very nice views on a clear day of Strangford Lough and the County Down countryside.Good mobility is required because of the steep climb up to the statue. The path upwards is not paved and consists of grass, earth / stone paths.Unfortunately there is no information board at the summit to show the various landmarks visible from the location.There are no toilets.Free car parking for quite a few vehicles is available at the start of the hill.Sadly some people have discarded dog waste bags around the site.Overall it is worthwhile visiting if you are visiting the area and have good mobility and fitness.

Nice walk up to the monument, at the top is a stunning picturesque location with stunning views.

Just 4mins walk up a grass slope from the carpark. Amazing views of Strangford Lough.

Wonderful place with spectacular views. Pay careful attention to Saint Patrick's footwear! There's Irish humour immortalised in stone.

Aside from the religious significance, the view from the top is spectacular.

Just a small climb/walk up the hill and you will have the most beautiful view over the surrounding landscape.

A beautiful site once you've gotten to the top, it's a bit of a walk, so toddlers would need to be carried, and it's at a great height once you have reached the top. You can see for miles up here. A must see

Muddy walk up hill, great at the top but no reason there can’t be a pebble/gravel path up,very muddy and sloppy on the wrong day,not safe for older pilgrims

Wonderful place. Large park area with lots to see. Very hilly, so not for everyone. No smooth paths, grass and dirt paths only. Worth the walk up to the top just for the beautiful views over the countryside and Strangford Lough
