Yellow Water Picnic Area

Highlight • Parking

A lovely small clearing with a few picnic tables and the Yellow Water river running beside it.
The small car park is a good place to leave the car for one of the many walks in this area.

Bog Road, Mourne AONB

Highlight • Trail

Can be tricky to find from the Southern end. When you do find it, you can can be reasonably sure of escaping Castle Bog before the bog monsters get you.

Bog Road Stile

Highlight • Rest Area

It's often really foggy up here and difficult to see which way you need to go. If you're coming at this from the Pierce' Castle side and heading towards Rostrevor then this stile is most likely what you're aiming for.

A really fun descent down into the forest. Be sure to watch where you put your feet as there are some deep holes on the way down.
