    The story · Rostrevor

    The Big Stone

    High above Rostrevor sits Cloughmore, a huge granite boulder. Geologists will tell you it was left behind as the ice melted. Locals will tell you a giant threw it. Either way it's quite a sight, and so is the view.

    Walk up through Kilbroney Park to the Cloughmore Stone.

    The Fairy Glen

    The Fairy Glen follows the Kilbroney River up from near the middle of Rostrevor and links into the park. It's a short riverside walk that shows you a completely different side of the village, and you won't need hiking boots.

    Follow the river path up the Fairy Glen.
