Days Out in Castlewellan

Just along the road, Tollymore Forest Park is where Game of Thrones filmed its famous forest scenes — a specific pull if anyone in your group is a fan of the show.

Beyond the parks, six climbing walls are within easy reach, plus Segway trails, horse riding at Mount Pleasant Equestrian, and Funny Farm Adventures for smaller kids who need to run it out. Drumena Cashel is a free ancient ringfort if you want a quick history stop, and the coast at Newcastle is close when the weather holds.
