Walked most of the black trail and part of the red trail and saw really beautiful forests, river walks, and mountain views along the farside boundary. A mixture of everything and a good workout too. Looking forward to my next visit.

Caravan Park review. Wonderful and breathtaking views of the forest. The caravan park is set overlooking the monument and mountains above. The pitches are first come, first served so that oils advise arriving as early as possible. We had a decent pitch facing towards the amenities with fields behind us. EHU points are shared between pitches and water could be 20-30m away so had to use the water barrel. Toilets and showers are clean and plenty of them. Chemical disposal point is behind the showers. Walks are fantastic, children and dog had a brilliant time along the river. Very reasonably priced. Think an on site restaurant would do extremely well here. We will definitely return, kids have said it is their favourite to date!

this place is fab we loved it every1 so friendly and the staff a the front were lovley tents were separated from caravans was brilliant. so clean and security were always seen going about. the forest was beautiful the stepping stones were my favourite 😍

The taxi dropped me off at the gates and I walked the long drive-way to the car park and then down the trails. This place is beautiful but HUGE! If you are planning a visit then plan to spend many hours here. There are lots of paths and each of them are so beautiful. If you visit the area then you must visit here.

Had a lovely walk in glorious sunshine this morning on the river walk. That is until near the end when one of two medium sized black dogs ran barking loudly towards us.Not everyone is comfortable around dogs and the woman with them made it clear she didn't understand this ! The dog took quite a while to be brought under control. A frightening end to our visit. I warned several people with young children to be wary. An irresponsible dog owner has made me wary of returning. She put it on a lead(eventually) and said she didn't have to. Do dogs require a lead ? The scenery was beautiful and the sounds of the river hypnotic.Sadly the negative encounter with the dog and its walker marred an otherwise delightful morning.

As a folly fanatic I absolutely loved Tollymore. So much curiousity, character and beauty in an estate that deserves to be far more widely known. The bridges and river are a delight and the hermitage is the star of the show. Some tips: 1. Ask for both the guide as well as the historical leaflet on arrival at the car park pay hut. I got one on entry and the other only when I returned with a query. Note that, confusingly, the maps are oriented differently. The various feature are numbered chronologically rather than in a recommend sequence which would be more helpful. Devise your own route. NB: You may see reference to 'White Fort Cashel' on some maps. Don't bother trying to find it. The site is no more than a mound of stones among the bracken! 2. Allow a good half day to do all the attractions. There are many to see and it's quite a large park. 3. Explore on foot. Yes, there are cycle paths through the estate but they don't provide access to everything. 4. Oddly, the restaurant is closed but there is a snack van parked outside. 5. No guide book is on sale either but you can get the excellent book titled 'Tollymore - the story of an Irish demesne' @ £10 incl P&P from Ulster Architectural Heritage. 6. The park closes at dusk which, on my visit in early August, was 8pm. Admission per car is £5.
