“The route is circular, but with one long extension where you walk out along the track and come back again to continue the circle. Three hours will see you through, including time for a break and a cuppa.”

“Ballypatrick forest is a great location for a walk. If you just have time for a quick hour’s worth of fresh forest air, or you would like a four-hour walk in the woods, this is the place.”

“Aughrim Hill (251m) and Knockchree, also known as Knockcree (306m), fall into the small category in any discussion of hillwalking. However, both have their charms not least of which are the fabulous views that surround them.”

“This is a circular walk starting at sea level, visiting three medium-sized hills in the southern end of the Mourne Mountain range, Slievemeen (472m), Slievemartin (485m) and Crenville (461m) before returning to the start point on forest tracks.”
