I look down, till his straining rump among the flowerbeds,
Bends low, comes up twenty years away
Stooping in rhythm through potato drills
Where he was digging. - Digging, Seamus Heaney
Down is largely a county of lush fields and fertile farmland,
much quieter than it's neighbours of Antrim and Armagh. The Hillsborough Oyster Festival is always sure to draw a crowd. Book into the luxurious Hastings Slieve Donard with
Luxury Hotels Ireland to make the most of your weekend away.
