Newcastle Way (Northern Ireland)

Down

The walk in the Mournes Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The route follows the coastline from Newcastle around the promontory of Murlough. Lanes and farmland tracks lead inland, through the charming village of Maghera, and on to the town of Castlewellan. A circuit of Castlewellan Forest Park is followed by a mixture of rural footpaths and quiet country lanes heading towards Tollymore Forest Park. From the woodland trails there are splendid views of the Mournes and Dundrum Bay. Woods and parks lead back to Newcastle.
