バヴァンでの周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

From the Flagstaff Viewpoint you can enjoy a stunning view of the expansive landscape where the Newry River gently curves its way to Carlingford Lough. The view stretches down to the fjord where the land meets the water and the hills in the distance form a picturesque backdrop. The valley opens up between the lush green conifers and you can watch the landscape unfold below you. From up here, the roads and fields look like little veins and patches that tie the whole picture together. It is a place to linger and enjoy the silence - a haven of calm that makes you feel above it all.

A lovely small clearing with a few picnic tables and the Yellow Water river running beside it. The small car park is a good place to leave the car for one of the many walks in this area.

Great 'starter' mountain for the kids.

A steep but beautiful walk following the Yellow Water river.

This beautiful forest extends along the slopes of Flagstaff Mountain, right above the estuary of Newry. It's very pleasant to walk along its paths, although in some sections, it's important to be mindful of the steep terrain.

From this viewpoint, we will have privileged views of the surrounding landscape, with the Newry River standing out as it discharges into the Carlingford Lough fjord.

Hen Mountain is one of the less challenging climbs of the Mourne Mountain range, not to worry though, as it still provides the stunning panoramic views that the Mournes are so good at showcasing. There are a few rocky outcrops up here which can be discovered and explored, just do watch your footing as you move about.

Enjoy a stroll along this wild & beautiful landscape nestled at the foothills of Hen Mountain. If doing a back and forth to Hen Mountain, this is a great one to do with kids.
