The Downpatrick and County Down Railway is Ireland’s only full-size heritage railway, offering visitors a unique journey through the picturesque drumlin countryside aboard vintage steam and diesel trains. The railway connects several of Northern Ireland’s historic sites, including Downpatrick, Inch Abbey, the grave of Viking King Magnus, and Down Cathedral, providing an immersive experience that intertwines the rich history of these locations with the charm of traditional rail travel.
Throughout the year, the railway hosts a variety of family-friendly events, such as the SuperTrain adventures featuring superheroes and the Jurassic Express, which transports passengers back in time for an action-packed dinosaur experience. Additionally, the railway organizes events for adults, including afternoon teas and paranormal experiences, catering to a diverse audience.
