This is a moderate, seven-mile circular walk through woodland and open countryside on rough tracks and paths.  For a map, statistics and more photographs go to https://www.wikiloc.com/hiking-trails/slieve-martin-and-the-cloch-mor-24675668

Start at the carpark in Kilbroney Park, just along the coast road from Rostrevor.  From the carpark go right, back downhill the way you came in to find a redbrick building.  Here, turn left, cross a  carpark and follow the signs uphill for Fiddlers Green. http://fiddlersgreenfestival.eu/

At Fiddlers’ Green, the main path vers right. Follow this and you will notice another going sharp left.  Walk past this to shortly find an ancient tree with a sign pinned to it ” The Big Stone”.

Follow the very minor track, zigzagging uphill.  This is a tough but delightful part of the walk.

Follow the track to the end to reach the open ground and then go straight ahead to find the Cloch Mór, a glacial erratic. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloughmore

After the Cloch Mór, take the path leading uphill to the highest point of the walk, marked by an aerial.

Drop down the hill on the far side to a wood enclosed by a wall.  Lookout for a break in the wall, a stile and a stream.

Cross the stile and follow the track through the forest.  This will lead you to a clear gravel path which will bring you back full circle to the car park.
