발린투르‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪6‬개의 호수

The Duck Pond feels like a calm secret waiting to be discovered. Recommended by hikers and tucked into a protected area, it’s a gentle spot where water glimmers among reeds and mountains frame the quiet mirror below.

The well-signposted paths lead you through dense forests and offer impressive views of Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains. The mountain bike routes in particular are varied and require both fitness and technique. However, some sections can be slippery in wet weather, so caution is advised. A highlight is the Cloughmore Stone, a huge boulder that was transported here during the last ice age. The approach there is steep, but the view makes up for the effort.

Beautiful Forest features scenic trails with amazing views of Carlingford Lough, especially from The Cloghmore Stone, a 40 tonne granite boulder which was deposited here at the end of the last ice age. The Oak wood is a Special Area of Conservation believed to be over 250 years old. It is a remnant of the old oak woodlands that clothed the lower slopes of the Mournes several centuries ago. Most of these oak woods were cleared during the 18th and 19th centuries for use in boat building.

Nice duck pond with picnic benches and kids play park

Nice and peaceful place with a bench that's perfect for resting weary legs and watching the wildlife around the lake. Even with the new gravel path this area can get quite boggy so best to wear the boots.

Amazing views of Rostrevor national park and the coast from here. The trails are as good as the views too, with loads of interesting up and downhill sections. A great place to ride off-road!

This way you can enjoy great views over the water to Northern Ireland. As the crow flies, the neighboring country is only a few kilometers away.

Lovely walk around the pond.
