This historic 12th century building is a typical example of an Anglo-Norman motte with a kidney-shaped bailey. The 7.6m high mound, which once housed a wooden tower, was later replaced by a stone tower house, the ruins of which can still be seen today. Access is via Clough's main road; there is a small car park, but it is not always well signposted. Access is usually permitted. The surrounding countryside, with views of the Mourne Mountains, offers a tranquil atmosphere that invites you to linger.

The ancient stone arches are perfectly reflected in the calm water, creating an image of timeless elegance. Cycling along here almost feels like a journey back in time - as if you are capturing a moment in another time.

This forest of around five hectares consists of a mixture of scrubland, Douglas fir and spruce. The well-maintained paths lead you through dense forest and offer striking views of the surrounding countryside, including the villages of Attical and Slieemageogh.

The gently ascending road winds through a wide, open landscape, surrounded by grassy hills and breathtaking silence.

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.

A particular highlight is the Annalong Cornmill, a restored watermill that is well worth a visit. Nearby you'll find the Harbour Inn, a cosy eatery known for its fresh seafood. Note, however, that the harbour can dry out at low tide, which changes the view.

Note, however, that some sections of the promenade can be slippery when wet, so care must be taken.
