Downpatrick Head

3- picture panorama of Downpatrick Head cape. The sea-stack is called Dún Briste, which means "broken fort".

 

Local legend says that when a pagan chieftain refused to convert to Christianity, St Patrick struck the ground with his crozier, splitting a chunk of the headland off into the ocean, with the chieftain on top!
