This picturesque spot is located between Dundrum Bay and Murlough Bay and offers impressive views of the surrounding countryside. The paths there lead through the Murlough National Nature Reserve, a 6,000-year-old dune system that is great for cycling. However, some sections can become slippery in wet weather, so care must be taken. A particular highlight is the Downshire Bridge, which connects the village of Dundrum with the nature reserve and provides a charming crossing over the bay.

This historic 10th century tower stands in idyllic countryside and offers a fascinating insight into Ireland's early Christian history. Access is via narrow country lanes; there is a small car park but it is not always well signposted. The tower is on private farmland but access is usually permitted.

The small, historic port provides a charming setting with views of the Mourne Mountains and the sea. The promenade is well maintained and is great for a relaxing cruise along the coast. However, it can get quite busy in good weather and at weekends, which can slow down the journey. A highlight is the proximity to Murlough National Nature Reserve, which is just a few kilometers away and is ideal for further exploration. Note, however, that some sections of the promenade can be slippery when wet, so care must be taken.
