Hiking

The Slieve Foye climb starts immediately in Carlingford. This is the shortest and quickest route to the top of Foye ... but also the steepest. There are nice views across Carlingford Lough to the Mourne Mountains. The walk to Split Rock from Foye is relatively easy, but the terrain can be rough in places. There's a large rock (Split Rock) which contains a split but I missed it somehow.
