Embark on the easy Cloughmore Trail, a 2.2-mile (3.5 km) hike that typically takes about 1 hour and 12 minutes to complete. You will gain 646 feet (197 metres) in elevation as you explore diverse terrain and ancient oakwood forests. Look out for the impressive 50-tonne Cloughmore Stone and enjoy panoramic vistas from viewpoints like "Kodak Corner" overlooking Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains. The route offers a blend of natural beauty and rewarding views.
While the trail is generally considered easy, be prepared for some steep sections, especially during the initial ascent from the car park towards the Cloughmore Stone. This hike is manageable for most people in reasonable health. Kilbroney Forest Park serves as an excellent starting point, providing ample parking for your convenience. The circular nature of the route means you will finish where you began.
The Cloughmore Trail is a favorite among those who enjoy walking and running, providing a fulfilling outdoor experience within Kilbroney Forest Park. The massive Cloughmore Stone itself is not just a geological feature; it is also steeped in local folklore, adding a layer of historical intrigue to your journey. This trail stands out for its combination of accessible hiking and significant natural landmarks.
