Cared for as Ireland's first nature reserve since 1967, the fragile 6000 year old sand dune system is an excellent area for walking and bird watching. Overlooked by the rounded peaks of the Mourne Mountains to the south, this is a great place to explore via the network of paths and boardwalks through the dunes, woodland and heath, from where you can see an array of butterflies and wild flowers.

Below an historic Norman castle lies Dundrum Castle Wood; a woodland of
mature Beech and Sycamore trees. From here you can access the Dundrum Coastal Footpath, which offers excellent bird watching over the adjacent estuary of Dundrum Inner Bay.

Nestled at the end of the coast path on Widows Row is a National Trust holiday cottage, Murlough Cottage, built in 1843 to house the widows and children of local fishermen who lost their lives at sea. It is now a tranquil place to enjoy panoramic views across Dundrum Inner Bay. |
