Mourne Bases
I'm organising a weekend walking in the Mournes for myself and a few friends. Can anyone suggest a good base village/town? We'd ideally like somewhere that is accessible to the hills but also has a good pub/restaurant scene. Carlingford springs to mind, but only because I've stayed there before. My knowledge of similar towns in the area is non-existant, and I would appreciate suggestions...
Thanks. |

A pleasant and easy stroll from the lay-by on the Allen-Miltown road as referenced by Dessie1. Frustratingly a spacious car parking area at this spot is padlocked, meaning visitors must park in a ... |
