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.

Kilbroney's Narnia Trail starts at a wardrobe door and leads through the woods past characters from C. S. Lewis's stories. Kids love it, and the grown-ups are never far behind.

Step through the wardrobe and follow the Narnia Trail.
