Local access and parking details
Tollymore is not Donard Park: it is a managed forest site on the inland side of Newcastle. Forest Service lists visitor trails, picnic areas and toilets, and vehicle entry may have a charge.
Before you go
Use the official park entrance and check the vehicle fee instead of treating any nearby forest track as public road access.
