Walk the route
Google Maps picks its own paths between points, so follow the waymarks if they differ.
Get to the start
Wide, flat, well-maintained forest paths circling Castlewellan Lake, passing an old Ice House with views back to Castlewellan Castle.
Easy underfoot and about 10 minutes from Newcastle — a gentler stand-in for the nearby Mournes.
Before you set off
Download Vespers so it plays without signal, start it as you leave the car park, and keep the volume low enough to hear bikes and the weather.
