Local access and parking details
The reserve sits on a steep slope overlooking Carlingford Lough. Kilbroney Park nearby also has parking and visitor facilities, but it is not identical to the small reserve access point.
Before you go
Use the signed access and avoid blocking the forest drive when the lay-by is full.
