Good legs and lungs for this one

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.

A tough climb from any direction but a great place to refuel and enjoy the views.

There's riverside walks, including the Fairy Glen and Narnia Trail, and an arboretum. The two mile forest path showcases panoramic views over the beautiful Carlingford Lough. There is also a Play Park with children's play area and tennis courts, an Information area and a cafe.

Beautiful park with cafe and kids play area.

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.

'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!
