This statue is on a hill overlooking the Mourne Mountains to the south and Strangford Lough to the east and commemorates the work of St. Patrick.

According to tradition Saint Patrick returned to Ireland through the narrow of Strangford Lough and landed where the River Slaney enters the Lough.

If you look at the picture in a larger size you can see Saul Church and its round tower in the center of the picture. There is a picture of this church else where in my photostream. This church traditionally marks the place where Saint Patrick built his first church.

These are the Mountains of Mourne that "sweep down to the sea" in the well-known Irish song.

This statue of St. Patrick is on a hill near the place where St. Patrick began his work as a missionary to the Irish.
