Slieve Gullion Forest Park Hosts Fairy Trail Guided Walks

Newry, Mourne and Down District Councilis delighted to announce that Slieve Gullion Forest Park will be hosting guided walks along its fairy trail on the 30 May and 6 June as part of its bank holiday preparations. 

The fairy trail is an innovative, magical trail that takes visitors on an unforgettable journey of intertwined fairy houses and art features, creating a fantastical childhood land of mystery, dragons, witches and fairies.

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Mickey Ruane welcomed the walks and commented, “The guided tours will take you on a journey of magic and imagination, where you will follow in the footsteps of the mischievous fairy, so be ready to encounter the unexpected and enjoy this wonderful woodland adventure!”

“As this is an outdoor activity, suitable footwear and outdoor clothing should be worn. The tours will take place at 10am and 11.30am on both days. As places are limited they must be booked in advance on or before 24 May by contacting Newry Visitor Information Centre on 028 3031 3170 or newryvic@newryandmourne.gov.uk.”
