King Magnus' Halt

King Magnus' Halt, more commonly known as Magnus' Grave, is a heritage railway station on the Downpatrick and County Down Railway's South Line, located on the outskirts of the town of Downpatrick in County Down, Northern Ireland. It takes its name from the nearby grave of Viking King Magnus Barefoot, a local tourist attraction that was not easily accessible prior to the arrival of the railway. The station consists of a simple curved concrete platform, overlooking the burial site of Magnus Barefoot on one side and the Quoile Marshes and Hollymount Forest on the other. It is located on the same alignment as the former Belfast and County Down Railway mainline from Belfast to Newcastle, though no halt was ever provided at its location in BCDR days. Although Magnus Grave is a terminus station, the track continues on through a cutting and southwards for another kilometre. This section of track is currently mothballed.
