Ireland's National Monument to Saint Patrick in the heart of Saul

​

Slieve Patrick is a large hill in Lecale donated by the Hampton family for the erection of a National Monument. The statue on the top is the world's largest statue of Saint Patrick.

​

Carved of Mourne Granite near Kilcoo the statue is unusual as it has a workman's boot on one foot and a sandal on the other to commemorate the quarry men. 

​

From the top of the hill there are excellent views over Strangford Lough. You can also see Saul Church, the Isle of Man, and the Mull of Kintyre on a clear day.
