This place is amazing! Only £5 in with a car for the day, and gates don't shut until 8pm. There are camping, caravan and glamping sites available. There are vans with food and drink, including a chippy, ice-cream, milkshakes, coffee, tea etc. There are so many trails to choose from, lots of parks for kids, a castle, and a doggy park. We had such a good day and we will be back for the glamping which is only £62 per night!

We have been camping and caravanning in Gosford for over 30 years. We LOVE the place. Forest walks, deer, loads of wildlife, great parks for the kids to play in. These are a few of the many reasons we keep coming back. In the interest of balance. .. the caravan pitches don't have water supply or waste drainage. But that's a very minor negative!

That's the nearest forest park from Newry, only 15 minutes. drive towards Armagh. It has it all, peaceful, long forest walking paths, kids' playgrounds, beautiful parks, walks by the river, camping, ice cream and coffee wans, and picnic areas. We always go there for relaxation and recreation. 5£ fee entrance per car.

Its a beautiful forest park, lots of outdoor play areas for children, toilets and coffee area., camping facilities and deer park. Its got history too.Five quid to enter and park which I think is a bit steep if your just walking your dogs but not if your making a whole day of it with a picnic etc. The castle area is off limits except if you live there but its a very imposing building. Id like to see more info around it to point out the various ruins and things like the dogs graves etc. Dogs must be on leads.
