St Patrick's Stream, Down, Northern Ireland, Newcastle, Australia

REFNO:73232. St Patricks Stream is set in a mature woodland garden at the foot of Slieve Donard situated at the edge of Tollymore Forest. At night the garden hosts evening frolics from Badgers and silent foraging from Woodland Deer. For nocturnal guest this experience can be followed by a beautiful orange sunrise that wakens the day exposing a Panoramic view of Dundrum Bay and the Irish sea. After breakfast a leisurely 1.6 mile stroll along the coast road ends in Newcastle Town Centre or alternatively from the top of the garden walks in Tollymore can begin for nature lovers. The melody and words 'Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea' of the popular song written by Percy French in 1896 have made the Mournes the best-known mountains in Ireland. An area of Outstanding Natural Beauty the Mourne Mountains are the most picturesque in Ireland and were the inspiraton for the writer CS Lewis's magical land of Narnia in his popular children's books the Chronicles of Narnia. In this compact range 15 miles long and 8 miles wide only a dozen of the sixty or so individual summits rise above 2 000ft with Slieve Donard at 2 796ft the highest peak in Ulster. The Mourne Mountains and its surrounding area provide every outdoor activity from hill walking rock climbing and mountain boarding to horse riding fishing and golf. The perfect holiday location for the outdoor enthusiast. And for the not so energetic Newcastle town centre has a wide variety of shops resturants and beauty salons to choose from. For the occasional damp day there is plenty to occupy children with indoor Amusement Arcade Coco's indoor play arena and Tropicana withheated swimming pool.
