Touring in the Trees - Kilbroney

The Fairy Glen

Follows a gentle woodland path alongside a stream through a scenic glen with moss-covered rocks, small waterfalls and lush vegetation. Mostly flat with occasional steps and uneven ground – suitable for older children but not buggies. Dogs welcome on leads. The fairytale atmosphere and easy access from Rostrevor make it a lovely short escape into nature, particularly atmospheric after rainfall when the stream is fuller.

Fairy Glen Trail - long

Winds through a magical woodland gorge with gentle to moderate inclines, featuring mossy rocks, waterfalls, and the scenic Shimna River. Suitable for families with older children (5+) who can handle uneven, sometimes slippery paths and wooden steps – not buggy-friendly. Dogs welcome on leads. The 'fairy tale' atmosphere and dramatic natural scenery make this a memorable outing, especially after rainfall when the waterfalls are at their best.

Fairy Glen Trail - short
