Kilbroney Park

Highlight • Rest Area

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.

Cloughmore Stone

Highlight • Natural

Huge erratic stone from the ice age. Estimated to be 50 tons and granite from Scotland where it originated from and moved by the ice over 10'000 years ago.
Legend has it that Finn McCool chucked it over Carlingford Lough which is much more realistic!

View of Carlingford Lough from Mourne AONB

Highlight (Segment) • Lake

Amazing views of Rostrevor national park and the coast from here. The trails are as good as the views too, with loads of interesting up and downhill sections. A great place to ride off-road!

Rostrevor Forest

Highlight • Forest

Beautiful Forest features scenic trails with amazing views of Carlingford Lough, especially from The Cloghmore Stone, a 40 tonne granite boulder which was deposited here at the end of the last ice age.

The Oak wood is a Special Area of Conservation believed to be over 250 years old. It is a remnant of the old oak woodlands that clothed the lower slopes of the Mournes several centuries ago. Most of these oak woods were cleared during the 18th and 19th centuries for use in boat building.
