Another one in the Mournes Co Down. The Rock - Slivenaman Rd.

A small camping & caravan site. There is also a small shop for tea coffee & snacks. Toilet also on site.

Great views of the mountains & down to the Irish sea.

Directions from Newcastle. Take the Bryansford Rd out of town.at the end turn left, continue through Bryansford village-the Slievnaman road is the second road on the left after leaving Bryansford-just over 2 miles. The Rock is about 200 metres on the right

Directions from Newry. Take the Fathom Line from The Quays shopping centre & follow the canal out of town. Victoria Lock is about 4 miles along the road.
A great area to explore

One memory of my first visit to a great place was the ride in a chair of a Scott Squirrel (thumbs) :evil: (also got a ride in a 1925 Royal Enfield combo :evil: )

Ballynoe Stone Circle looking to the Mournes.
There is a parking layby that is off the road - site approached by walkway. No amenities, so bring everything with you, but a phenomenal place to stop / picnic
