The small, historic port provides a charming setting with views of the Mourne Mountains and the sea. The promenade is well maintained and is great for a relaxing cruise along the coast. However, it can get quite busy in good weather and at weekends, which can slow down the journey. A highlight is the proximity to Murlough National Nature Reserve, which is just a few kilometers away and is ideal for further exploration. Note, however, that some sections of the promenade can be slippery when wet, so care must be taken.

There's something special about the atmosphere inside - the light-flooded rooms, the smell of freshly baked pastries and the lively background noise make the place a little oasis for cyclists. Perfect for getting out of the saddle for a moment and recharging your batteries with a good coffee. There's a wide range of snacks and pastries on offer and the relaxed atmosphere invites you to stay a little longer than you had originally planned. Even though it can get a little crowded at times, you can usually find a spot to look out over the hustle and bustle.

Fantastic mural on the side of the old Carlingford Bay hotel. By street artist Faunagraphics.

Nice path, here you can jump over the small wall and are directly in the ruins ;)

If you fancy a dip after all those hills, this is a very safe spot for swimming. The slipway at the side of the harbour wall is the preferred entry point. If you look back along the side of Slieve Donard, you will see some cottages known as “Widows Row”. These were built for the widows of fishermen who died at sea. They would be able to live out their days in one of the cottages looking out to sea.

The perfect meeting spot to start any run in this area. From this point you can head either into Rostrevor village, out towards Killowen, into Kilbroney park or head north alongside the river.
