Please check local regulations for: Mourne AONB
Location: Rosstrevor Upper, Newry And Mourne, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
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.
