Drumkeeragh Forest Park

From Dromara,Co Down

Take the Rathfriland road out of the village towards Finnis. After passing the Petrol station take the first road on the left - the Castlewellan Rd, which continues into the Drumnaquoile Rd. The new Forest Carpark is further up on the left. Picnic tables and great views. A popular spot so early mornings and late evenings are best. Lots of great roads in the surrounding area.

If you are passing by Whitehead might there be any chance please of your taking a photo of 55 Cable Road, plus one down by the swimming baths if they are still there?

I spent many happy holidays there as a child with my father's family. Sadly there is nobody any longer there but happy thoughts are :D

TTFN

Hugh.
Here you go Hugh, as requested
