Rostrevor is the most sheltered and subtropical village in Northern Ireland — a Victorian seaside resort at the foot of the Mournes where the mountains meet Carlingford Lough, with giant redwood trees in Kilbroney Park and a mild microclimate that allows palm trees to flourish. The Cloughmore Stone, a vast granite boulder left by a glacier, is a famous local landmark.

One of the most pleasant and characterful small villages in Northern Ireland, Rostrevor makes a superb and peaceful walking base for the southern Mournes and Carlingford Lough — a landscape of exceptional beauty that sees relatively few visitors.
