The experience
About this day out
A low-lying, regularly flooded marshland largely surrounded by wooded drumlins. Wet woodland or carr has developed undisturbed since 1745, when a tidal barrage across the Quoile estuary excluded the sea from the Downpatrick marshes. Its dense alder and willow carr is probably the oldest remaining and one of the finest examples of this wetland habitat in Ulster.
