Expand pics.   by csd  29 Jul 2007 The easiest approach to Slievemartin is probably from the Rostrevor Forest Park car park at J195 173 (Point A). From here it's easy to follow the tracks up to the summit of Slievemartin, even if it does appear you have to head in the opposite direction when setting off. It should take 45 mins or less to get to the summit; Slievemeen and Crenville are also eminently doable from this starting point. The stunning views from Slievemartin belie its relatively modest elevation: most of the Mournes are visible (including Donard), as well as great panoramas of the Cooleys and Slieve Gullion.

In the afternoon sun the views were good, with Knockshee looking as if it would give a good circuit along with Slievemeen. As for including Crenville (see my post), go there if you must and go prepared & soothe yourself later with a fine pint of real ale from the White Water Brewery .

In the SW of the magnificent Mourne Mountains (further and you drop into Carlingford Lough), it presents no redeeming features; in fact it presents no features at all other than the jetsam from a half-demolished communications tower and some stone or other to go and see, for those of us who like to go and see stones. Excepting a pretty jaunt off, through faery woodland, it exhibits no more than you expect from the fringe of the flock: woolly, cranky and not the brightest star in the firmament. “Beauty” is a word devalued by over and untrained use, but if it could be used only once, it could be used to describe the land and town scapes that cuckoon dull old Slievemartin. From the infamous and discomfiting Narrow Waters, through Warrenpoint and Rostrevor, a riviera of natural and domestic wealth and sophistication confidently flows. “Riviera” - there’s another one of these words. For those of us who have rotissed on the Cote D’Azur, in the reign of la Bardot, there can be no other Riviera - but this coastline, yes this Northern Irish coastline, is about as close as you can get: craggy promontaries against sunlit skylines, bold sharp seas to different worlds, heather-clad foothills; him and her sauntering from one sophisticated café and restaurant to the next, while Jennifer and Geoffrey carelessly go about for the millionth time today. Lee Ho. Genuinely European towns quite beyond the perspective of the entrenched North and increasingly revered by the discerning South - which is not really surprising, as from the scrapyard summit of said Slievemartin, Carlingford and Rostrevor are no farther apart than lovers across a table.
