Fionn's Giant Adventure — Attraction in Newry, Mourne and Down District Council

Great walk around the nature trails. Excerpt from the website: Slieve Gullion Forest Park offers the unmissable opportunity to experience tranquil woodland trails, stunning views across the Ring of Gullion, Mourne Mountains, Cooley Peninsula and Armagh Drumlins and top class facilities for walkers and families. Play in the Adventure Playpark; explore the Giant’s Lair in the wonderful Hawthorn Hill Forest Nature Reserve and woodland trails, or take a turn in the ornamental walled garden, where you will find picnic benches, an outdoor performance stage, an al fresco coffee bar (open in the summer) and a wildlife pond with covered seating areas.

Head off on Slieve Gullion Scenic Drive, through 10km of woodland and mountain heath which turns a glorious purple in the summer, taking in amazing sights along the way. A way-marked trail leads from the scenic drive to the ancient passage tomb on the south summit of Slieve Gullion, continuing on to Cailleach Beara’s Lough and Bronze Age tomb and down the north side of the mountain. There is a full events programme throughout...

Excellent attraction, totally free and something for everyone. We took our toddler who just couldn't get enough of the playpark. We followed the fairy trail and were really impressed. The musical section was a really nice touch too and although the walk was a little long and steep for a two year old she had just as much fun on daddys shoulders and looking at the different types of trees and leaves. The bathroom facilities were excellent and there were more than enough picnic tables and shelters from the rain in the playpark area.

I can't...

If you believe in fairies and dragons and the like, this is the place for you! But even if your not you will be swept away by beautiful views. And you will get a laugh at some of the things parents say tryin to explain why there's nothing behind the wooden painted front of a fairy house! (it's because only the fairies who are magic can view what's really there) I know! and I was totally sober! Excellent day out for most, involves steep walks. But if you get the weather you can mosey...
