A great little cafe set in the bike shop, with great coffee and a nice variety of sweet goodies.

The small, historic port provides a charming setting with views of the Mourne Mountains and the sea. The promenade is well maintained and is great for a relaxing cruise along the coast. However, it can get quite busy in good weather and at weekends, which can slow down the journey. A highlight is the proximity to Murlough National Nature Reserve, which is just a few kilometers away and is ideal for further exploration. Note, however, that some sections of the promenade can be slippery when wet, so care must be taken.

If you fancy a dip after all those hills, this is a very safe spot for swimming. The slipway at the side of the harbour wall is the preferred entry point. If you look back along the side of Slieve Donard, you will see some cottages known as “Widows Row”. These were built for the widows of fishermen who died at sea. They would be able to live out their days in one of the cottages looking out to sea.

Great view of the Mourne Mountains and close to Tollymore Forest Park.

Decent route along the base of the mountain, overlooking the sea. Some hills and fast descents.

Lovely cafe with great coffee and food.

Nice road - usually quiet and leading to opportunities to branch off on other quiet roads
