The name Downpatrick is derived from a time when St Patrick himself founded a church there.
The sea stack is beautiful to behold because you might see the layers upon layers of multi-coloured rock strata.
Dun Briste is roughly 63 meter by 23 meters, and 45 meters high.
Local folklore tells a different story though.
The legend says that a pagan chieftain once lived on the spot where the stack now stands.
