The arboretum is of historical importance and the gardens and forest walks are beautiful in any season.
You might like to pay a visit to the Whitewater Brewery, on Clarkhill Road, established in 1996 on the fifth generation family farm, amidst the spectacular Mourne Mountains. The Whitewater Brewery still retains the passion and desire to brew beers with fantastic flavours!
Newcastle
It's again just a 20 minute drive to the town of Newcastle, with a beautiful sandy beach (please bring your own beach towels), promenade, pubs and lots of excellent eateries.
Want to hire a bike or an e-bike? 'Bike Mourne' on the Central Promenade provide both and also offer biking tours.
Enjoy a 'Whodunit'? Check out: whodunithunts.com/newcastle for a very good value self-guided murder mystery tour around the town, starting in Donard Park. A fun way to explore the town!
Banbridge
Another 20 minute drive away from 'Mourneview' you'll find the Official Game of Thrones Studio Tour. Step behind the scenes at the principal film studios on a journey from the conceptual stages of Game of Thrones and into the heart of Westeros, where you’ll be in awe of giants and dragons, and the real Iron Throne.
