At 485m above the village of Rostrevor this is the highest point of Slieve Martin.
From here you can see Rostrevor, Warrenpoint and across to Carlingford and O'Meath in the South.
Cairns in ancient times functioned as landmarks to aid navigation, long before GPS. An early version of komoot!
The climb up here is steep but the views are incredible so take a camera. Even if it's calm at the lower levels, the wind can be really strong up at the cairn so be prepared for that.

Slievemartin stands at 485m and is situated in the Kilbroney Forest Park, in the southern Mournes mountain range of Northern Ireland. It's a truly magical place and a popular spot for hikers, so magical that it was the inspirarion for C.S. Lewis’s wonderful world of Narnia! From the top of the peak, you can enjoy vast views over the stunning Rostrevor Forest and glacial fjord of Carlingford Lough.
