Viewpoint on the Castlewellan Red Trail

Highlight • MTB Park

It's a shame that the best view of the whole trail is on one of the most fun sections. So the choice is yours, enjoy the fast flowy section or pull over and enjoy the view!

Built by Hugh Annesley in 1884 and used by the Annesley family as a tea house. Brilliant view of the lake and forest around it, with some excellent mixed terrain trails to explore.

Tollymore Forest Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

A fantastic park. Very many hiking trails. A campsite is also available. In the park you drive through a stone gate. The gate closes at 20 o'clock and opens at 8 o'clock.
