Large areas of the forest have recently been clea red and patches of rhododendron have been removed.\n\nRemaining areas of f orest are of good general run ability although there are many areas of und ergrowth (brambles\, nettles etc) especially along path edges and plantati on margins.\n\nFull leg cover is therefore highly recommended.\n\nCastlewe llan is a busy park which we will share with walkers\, dog walkers\, horse riders\, cyclists and slow moving vehicles. Please give way to other park users. There is an extensive path/track network including many mountain b ike trails - which we expect to be busy. Courses have been planned to avoi d as much as possible the mountain bike trails although it is expected tha t runners will at times cross or use the tracks for short distances - ple ase use extreme caution and be courteous to other forest users avoiding st opping\, slowing or startling the riders. There are also kayakers and stan d up paddle boarders\, if you startle them\, you are well off route - keep away from deep water!\n\nMap: 1:10\,000 with 5m contour intervals for all courses except for Yellow and White which is 1:4000 with 2.5m contour int erval. The map was professionally updated during spring 2022. Descriptions will be in text on the map for Yellow and White.\n\nHow to get there:\n\n Castlewellan Forest Park is located in the town of Castlewellan and the fo rest park is sign posted from the Main Street. From the direction of Cloug h\, turn right at the start of the main street and follow the signs for th e forest.
