About

As part of our annual International Walking Festival the Saint Patrick Centre is delighted to offer a taster of our popular Camino walks - for free!

Begin at the Saint Patrick Centre and walk in the Saint's footsteps on our Pilgrim's Way around the Medieval Town of Downpatrick. Encounter community and laughter with fellow pilgrims. Explore the stunning countryside and visit important sites in Patrick's story with our experienced guide who will bring Saint Patrick's story to life and discuss spiritual aspects of his journey. Enjoy a complimentary viewing of the Saint Patrick Centre's IMAX film on Patrick's life and mission and receive a commemorative pilgrim passport.
This walk is completely guided and follows paths as well as country roads. The route is approximately 6.5 miles, so we suggest a moderate fitness level. Weather appropriate gear is recommended, stout footwear is essential. Please ensure you bring water and snacks to enjoy during the break.
