How do I reach Castlewellan from Banbridge on the main road?

DAERA identifies the A50 south-eastwards from Banbridge as an approach to Castlewellan and its forest park.

The town also sits on the A25 Downpatrick–Newry corridor, so signs may show several different destinations near the final approach. For the forest, follow the park entrance signs rather than stopping in the centre of Castlewellan. If you want shops rather than the forest, choose a town-centre car park instead of the forest car park.
