A big, varied forest park at Rostrevor beneath the Mournes, with everything from riverside strolls to the climb up to the Cloughmore Stone. Dogs are spoiled for sniffs here — shady woodland, open playing fields and a river to splash in — with plenty of room to stretch out on the wider tracks. It's busy at the main entrance and popular with families, so it's quieter early or on the higher trails.
