  We really enjoyed the walk with Martina (who is a wealth of knowledge). Unfortunately it bucketed rain the whole time and had the weather been better we might have been able to pause longer at some of the sights especially Inch Abbey. Martina was very informative with a good sense of humour. The walk itself took us through beautiful countryside. I do think the lunch could be improved, the vegetable soup promised turned out to be French Onion soup which wasn’t to everyone’s taste even though we had worked up an appetite and the sandwiches could have been more generously filled and using not just the cheapest bread available. I don’t make these comments lightly but I feel they reflect more than just my view speaking with other pilgrims and I hope the restaurant will take this on board and upgrade it a little.

  Having walked several routes of The Camino de Santiago, I was delighted to discover during these strange times, that there are superb pilgrim routes on my doorstep. Several weeks ago had the privilege of walking the 17 mile route that is St Patrick’s Way. Our guides, Martina and Elaine were very informative and enthusiastic as we walked around Downpatrick, Inch Abbey, the Quoile, Saul, Slieve Patrick and Struell Wells. We stopped off at various points of interest along the way and enjoyed a much needed lunch at Paddy’s Barn in Saul... another great find! I enjoyed it so much I got together with some more friends 3 weeks later and did the half day morning walk! Everyone I walked with on both occasions thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful pilgrimage. There is something for anyone who is interested in our rich history, beautiful countryside and engaging with people. Try it..I have no doubt you will be amazed!

  This is a beautiful area to walk in. Martina and Elaine were great fun and looked after us very well, and they helped link the Christian heritage of this area to faith today.

  My wife and I really enjoyed the whole experience. We initially planned to do the full day but ended up doing it in two parts as the rest of our group did not fancy doing it all in one day. There was a great atmosphere on the tour and excellent company with Martina and Elaine. Not only was it great to see the sites along the St Patrick's Way but it was wonderful to spend time with the others in the group. I would highly recommend this walk and I already know of others who are looking forward to doing it.

  My favourite part of the day was the walk along the Quoile. Wild orchids and roses lined our way. Our guide was very contemplative and informative, especially at Inch Abbey and Saul church. Which gave a love sense of peace to the walk. Soup and sarnie terrific at the Barn, so attentive to our needs.The passport is a brilliant touch

  After a delicious lunch at "The Barn" and a visit to the pristine washrooms ,, we set off . We visited many sites of great religious and historical interest, my favourite visit was to St Patrick's R.C Church in Saul. There was nothing on this walk I disliked and I would highly recommend it.

• Inspirational and Enlightening

  This Pilgrim Walk is much more than a stroll through County Down. The guided trek brings into life and sharp focus the influence if a pioneering Saint. The Sacred places in the way enables each of the participants to reflect not only in our history but also what is important particularly in our current circumstances. Without question, this multi-dimensional experience - physical, social, environmental and spiritual - is embellished with the vibrant and dynamic passionate witness of the Pilgrim Leaders, Martina and Elaine. They have their own miraculous experiences to share. In addition to the Enlightenment, the stunning County Down landscape is enchanting and picturesque. Our Group.completed the FULL Day, starting at around 9.00 am and finishing around 7.00 pm. What a joy.
