Things to do
Forest parks and beaches, castles and harbours, boat trips and long lazy lunches. Here's how to fill a day out from High Mourne House, whatever the weather's doing.
Whether you've got restless kids, a dog that needs a proper run, or just a free afternoon and no fixed plan, you'll find options from quick outings close to the house to full days out further afield.
Nothing matches both of those choices. Try all types to see everything that suits.

The cross-lough ferry is suspended throughout 2026, so do not plan this outing around a crossing - check the operator's website for any future restart. Carlingford itself is still well worth the drive round the lough, with medieval streets, good food and walking in a different jurisdiction.
