The route winds gently uphill, offering small clearings through which you can catch a glimpse of the valley and the sparkling water in the distance. The air here is wonderfully fresh and filled with the surrounding forests. During the climb you can feel the peace of the forest, accompanied only by the hum of the tires on the asphalt and the chirping of the birds. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent panorama.

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.

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.

The Yellow Road takes you straight into the heart of an impressive landscape that takes your breath away. The path winds gently through the undulating, lush green that stretches to the horizon. The further up you go, the more the view of the valley opens up and you can almost feel the vastness around you. Once you reach the top, the world suddenly seems to stand still - no sound except the gentle wind that blows over the blades of grass.

Clontygora Court Tomb is a truly special experience on the Ring of Gullion. While travelling along the quiet roads of County Armagh, I discovered this ancient megalithic tomb, also known as 'The King's Ring'. The imposing, upright stones of the U-shaped exedra are a striking sight and provide a fascinating insight into times long past. Although some parts have been damaged over the centuries, the tomb exudes a remarkable atmosphere - as if you are looking back in time. The site, nestled in the rolling hills at the foot of Slieve Gullion, makes the visit a worthwhile break for any cyclist. It is amazing how quiet it is here, with only the gentle breeze whistling through the stones. Those interested in prehistoric sites will also find the nearby monuments such as Ballymacdermot and Ballykeel fascinating. This area clearly has a rich history, which becomes apparent when you take a closer look at the megalithic chambers. I was particularly taken with the two massive portal stones that mark the entrance to the gallery - they seem like silent sentinels that have stood here for thousands of years. The view of the valley and the Newry River completes the experience. It is definitely worth a short detour, especially if you love nature and also have a bit of an interest in archaeology.

The "Ring of the King", the Clontygora Court Tomb, awaits you on a hill in Slieve Gullion, surrounded by the rugged beauty of the Ring of Gullion. This megalithic site with its distinctive Y-shape and central tomb gallery immerses you in the early history of Northern Ireland. The stones, which rise over 2.7 metres into the air, form an impressive exedra that encloses the deep, U-shaped courtyard - it is more than just a collection of rocks, it is a silent witness to times gone by. As you step between the portal stones that mark the entrance to the three-part burial chamber, you can easily imagine how the early inhabitants performed their rituals here over 5000 years ago. Flint artefacts and ceramic finds tell of long-gone cultures that already cultivated this land. From here you have a view not only of history but also of the landscape - a place where you can look out over the green hills and valleys. Close by you will find other megalithic monuments such as the Ballymacdermot Court Tomb or the Ballykeel Dolmen, all of which help to complete the mosaic of the past.

Unveiled in Sept 2023 Tom Dunn’s legacy as the local hedge school master and as a leading United Irishman meant he was known locally as the ‘Peasant Patriot’. He knew the power of education and the inclusive nature of his teaching to both Catholics and Protestants through his hedge school and evening recitations of scholarly books, enlightened the poor and oppressed. As a testament to his life, emphasising how he played a pivotal role in guiding local communities towards a more integrated, cohesive and shared society, a series of intergenerational hedge school workshops were held this summer which paid tribute to Dunn and his pivotal role as a cross community educator and leader. Nice place to take a break and watch village life go by.
