The lovely little harbour was historically the heart of the community.

At its height shipping the quarries work put in on reshaping the surrounding hills to the UK and Ireland. But those days are dust

You will however still catch a few classic vessels passing through, as they make their way down the South Down coastline. All of which you can cycle. I recommend that.

Beyond the Horizon

November 1, 2024

Dating back to the 19th century, this historic port offers an authentic insight into the region's maritime history. The well-maintained paths along the port make for a pleasant ride with views of the Mourne Mountains in the background. However, it can get slippery in wet weather, so care must be taken. A particular highlight is the Annalong Cornmill, a restored watermill that is well worth a visit. Nearby you'll find the Harbour Inn, a cosy eatery known for its fresh seafood. Note, however, that the harbour can dry out at low tide, which changes the view.
