Castlewellan forest park Co. Down
-
Had a family picnic, bbq at this great location over the weekend
Pity the sun was so strong when I took these and I did not have time to hang about to get the nice evening light. Planning on a weekend camping trip here so might get nicer light.
Cheers. Dee
Dee nice set only been at Castlewellan a couple of times didn’t haver a camera or want one.
Never quite made it to the forest park that I can remember anyway yes they were those sort of weekends. Do you know the name of the building in the last one.Soda
All very nice Dee,
How long did it take you to find a way out of the maze? It took me and the family the best part of an hour !!
Photographically, the second shot appeals to me most. A lovely composition and feel to it.

Beautiful castle, built in 1856 by Earl Annesley. There is also a fantastic aboretum there with plants from all over the world.
Brilliant for camping as you hope to do Dee. I camped there with St Pauls boy scouts many moons ago. This place evokes
some great memories of a bygone era. Oh as well second one well composed…..John! :)Ta chaps.
Hi Andy- took us almost 45 minutes or so. Bloody nitemare and the two kids were really starting to panic. My da was on the bridge trying to relay instructions to use – comical.First time I have been to this place , but on the strength of this trip we have now booked the private campsite next to the river for a weekend in July. Will be about 20 or so of us and we have hired boats, kayaks and wetsuits. Well looking forward to this.

I also like the second shot, although I would maybe crop a little off the right to remove that little jetty.
Ah, a lake I know only too well, having swam 1200m in it, biked around local roads and run twice round the lake all on a blisteringly hot August day.
That aside, I really like the 2nd too. The last one looks like a perfect shot for a nice glossy forestry brochure.
Nice.cheers for the comment folks, second shot is my fave too. I plan to reshoot the first one in better light as I feel there is a decent shot with the bridge and the mountains in the background.
Sounds like a terrible experience Brian :-) I walked the whole way around and I was knackered!
Thanks, Dee
