Things to do

Slieve Gullion Forest Park & Adventure Playpark 

Slieve Gullion Forest Park is well signposted on roads around Newry and South Armagh. If you need any information about Slieve Gullion and the Forest Park, then check out the displays at the Courtyard Centre. The building includes an exhibition area, craft workshops, restaurant and self-catering accommodation. A looped forest drive runs around the southern and western slopes of Slieve Gullion, and a short ascent can be made from a small parking space at the top of the road. The hill crops up regularly throughout 2,000 years of legend and history. Cuchulainn, the Red Branch, Fionn Mac Cumhail and other heroes trod its slopes. There is a rich cultural tradition in the area, and a number of little visitor centres in the surrounding countryside.
