Willowtree Glamping

Filling your days with activities shouldn’t be difficult around here. For starters, there are lots of places to get out for a walk around the Mourne Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and along the Annalong Coastal Path – whether you’re the kind of people who like a challenging hike or an easy stroll punctuated by a picnic. For water babies, there’s the option of paddleboarding on Carlingford Lough from Cranfield beach or Castlewellan Lake (both 20 minutes’ drive) or heading for sea and wild swimming (ask on site for details of some special and slightly secret spots). Coasteering days start from Bloody Bridge (10 minutes) for adventurous pairings, and there’s a lovely seaside golf course for those who’d rather keep their feet on the ground. Other outings might include a stroll around the National Trust’s Derrymore House (45 minutes), a visit to the Seascope Lobster Hatchery (10 minutes) or a pretty wander through the Carginagh Sunflower Fields (10 minutes).
