The route winds gently uphill, offering small clearings through which you can catch a glimpse of the valley and the sparkling water in the distance. The air here is wonderfully fresh and filled with the surrounding forests. During the climb you can feel the peace of the forest, accompanied only by the hum of the tires on the asphalt and the chirping of the birds. Once you reach the top, you are rewarded with a magnificent panorama.

This impressive tree, which has stood here for centuries, is a testament to the region's rich natural history. The paths leading there lead through dense forest and offer a pleasant ride away from traffic. However, some sections are slippery in wet weather, so care should be taken. A particular highlight is the proximity to the Cloughmore Stone, a huge boulder that was transported here during the last Ice Age.

The Yellow Road takes you straight into the heart of an impressive landscape that takes your breath away. The path winds gently through the undulating, lush green that stretches to the horizon. The further up you go, the more the view of the valley opens up and you can almost feel the vastness around you. Once you reach the top, the world suddenly seems to stand still - no sound except the gentle wind that blows over the blades of grass.

The hike to the Cloghmór Stone feels like a journey through time. Over 10,000 years ago, the ice brought this massive granite block from Scotland here, and now, weighing an estimated 50 tons, it towers majestically over the landscape. But it's not just the geology that's fascinating - according to legend, it was the giant Finn McCool who threw this enormous stone over Carlingford Lough. To be honest, the legend is a much more exciting explanation, isn't it? Once you've reached the top, you'll not only be greeted by the imposing boulder, but also by a fantastic view of Carlingford Lough and the surrounding hills. It's the perfect place to pause for a moment, take in the vastness and enjoy the peace that this place exudes.

Unveiled in Sept 2023 Tom Dunn’s legacy as the local hedge school master and as a leading United Irishman meant he was known locally as the ‘Peasant Patriot’. He knew the power of education and the inclusive nature of his teaching to both Catholics and Protestants through his hedge school and evening recitations of scholarly books, enlightened the poor and oppressed. As a testament to his life, emphasising how he played a pivotal role in guiding local communities towards a more integrated, cohesive and shared society, a series of intergenerational hedge school workshops were held this summer which paid tribute to Dunn and his pivotal role as a cross community educator and leader. Nice place to take a break and watch village life go by.
