Tips from the Community

Beyond the Horizon
November 1, 2024, View of Slieve Donard from Keel Point

This picturesque spot is located between Dundrum Bay and Murlough Bay and offers impressive views of the surrounding countryside. The paths there lead through the Murlough National Nature Reserve, a 6,000-year-old dune system that is great for cycling. However, some sections can become slippery in wet weather, so care must be taken. A particular highlight is the Downshire Bridge, which connects the village of Dundrum with the nature reserve and provides a charming crossing over the bay.

The ancient stone arches are perfectly reflected in the calm water, creating an image of timeless elegance. Cycling along here almost feels like a journey back in time - as if you are capturing a moment in another time.

Found on the beautiful peninsula between Dundrum Bay and Murlough Bay (Irish: Murlach, meaning 'sea inlet') Keel Point has perfect views of Slieve Donard, the highest peak in the Kingdom of the Mourne Mountains.

Wonderful ornate, twelve arched bridge that seems out of place in this rural setting. The surrounding fields often flood during periods of heavy rain, necessitating a longer bridge than normally appears necessary. Hence the 'Twelve Arches'. The bridge was built sometime after 1836.

The Dundrum Coastal Path provides a beautiful 2.5km stretch of coastal walking along a disused railway line on the western shore of Dundrum Inner Bay. Enjoy delightful views of the bay and the Mournes as you make your way along this well-maintained path.

The beautiful Dundrum Castle is located on a hilltop near Dundrum village. Its elevated position provides fantastic panoramic views across Dundrum, the Carrigs Estuary, the Mourne Mountain range and out to the Irish Sea. The castle itself was constructed by John de Courcy at the beginning of the 13th century. It's a fine example of a historic medieval castle of its time.
