マラモア周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

ニューリーの街を離れるとすぐに、カーリングフォード・ラフ・グリーンウェイとしても知られるアン・ベラフ・グラスで静寂へと向かって自転車を漕ぎます。この平坦で完璧に舗装された道は、運河の岸辺に沿って続き、途中、干潟の壮大な景色を眺めることができます。そこでは、数多くの渉禽類や、時には迷子のアザラシを見かけることもあります。このルートはまさに感覚的な体験です。潮風があなたを迎え、山々がますます近づいてくるように感じられます。この区間の絶対的な終点は、1850年から続く印象的な閘門施設である歴史的なビクトリア・ロックで、運河からカーリングフォード・ラフの開けた水域への移行を示しています。旅を海岸へと続ける前に、少し風にあたり、海のダイナミズムを楽しむのに最適な場所です。

The Mourne Wall is one of the most iconic landmarks of the Mourne Mountains, stretching for 35 kilometers across 15 summits. Built by hand in the early 20th century to enclose the Silent Valley Reservoir catchment area, it’s an impressive feat of craftsmanship and endurance. Today, hikers crossing its path are struck not only by its scale and history but also by the way it weaves naturally into the dramatic mountain landscape. Following the wall offers some of the best ridge walks in the Mournes, making it both a cultural treasure and a perfect guide for exploring these rugged peaks.

The well-signposted mountain bike trails take you through dense forests and offer breathtaking views of Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains. The descent from the Cloughmore Stone, a huge boulder that was transported here during the last ice age, is a particular highlight. However, some sections are technical and require a certain level of riding technique. The trails can become slippery in wet weather, so caution is advised. Another plus point is the proximity to the charming village of Rostrevor, where you can relax in one of the cafes after the tour.

There’s heaps to do when you visit Kilbroney park so bring a picnic, kids, dogs, bikes, walking boots and enjoy the day. Start at the Visitor Centre and learn about the forest and extraordinary Cloughmore Stone. There are tennis courts, play area, sports fields, an arboretum, walking and bike trails in the forest. Fiddler’s Green was once used for local entertainment and festivals.

The hike to the Cloghmór Stone feels like a journey through time. Over 10,000 years ago, the ice brought this massive granite block from Scotland here, and now, weighing an estimated 50 tons, it towers majestically over the landscape. But it's not just the geology that's fascinating - according to legend, it was the giant Finn McCool who threw this enormous stone over Carlingford Lough. To be honest, the legend is a much more exciting explanation, isn't it? Once you've reached the top, you'll not only be greeted by the imposing boulder, but also by a fantastic view of Carlingford Lough and the surrounding hills. It's the perfect place to pause for a moment, take in the vastness and enjoy the peace that this place exudes.
