Story · Annalong

Mourne granite, shipped from Annalong

Annalong grew up on fishing, farming and quarrying. Granite cut in the Mournes left from its harbour for places all over Britain and Ireland, so there are streets far away built with stone from this little village.

Walk down to Annalong Harbour.

Story · Annalong

A harbour made bigger for stone

In the 1880s Annalong Harbour was enlarged to cope with all the granite being shipped out. It looks picturesque today, but its shape comes from the hard work of getting heavy stone off the mountains and onto boats.

Look round the harbour walls.

The Rocket House

Annalong's Coastguard Tower, known locally as the Rocket House or the Rocket Tower, dates from the 1850s and is now a listed building. It's a reminder that this beautiful coast could be dangerous, and that people were ready to help when it was.
