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

The gently ascending road winds through a wide, open landscape, surrounded by grassy hills and breathtaking silence. Only the wind and the quiet hum of the tires accompany you here as your gaze wanders into the distance. The climb may be challenging, but the view that opens up with every meter of altitude is worth the effort. Once at the top, you feel free and rewarded, as if you have conquered a piece of nature and then the reward comes with the descent.

Start of a beautiful path

The perfect meeting spot to start any run in this area. From this point you can head either into Rostrevor village, out towards Killowen, into Kilbroney park or head north alongside the river.

Beautiful spot!

The meeting spot for most hikes, runs, bike rides etc that start in Rostrevor.

A beautiful spot to sit and watch the sunset on an evening! If you don't mind the cold, jump in and have a swim.

'The Invisible Tree' is a giant 200-year oak tree that has been in the spotlight due to it's position in a local planning dispute. For generations, the tree has provided habitat for many important species such as the Red Squirrel and has brought visitors from all over to witness its beauty. The existence of the tree was deleted from local plans to build apartments nearby, which caused an uproar in the community and subsequently led to a fight back. The tree was crowned 'Tree of the Year' by the Woodland Trust and permission to build on the land was denied, a victory!
