Tullymore Forest Park. (Major dial up warning)

Whilst the wife and I were enjoying our weekend break, we took a wee stroll up through one of the many forest parks in and around Co.Down.

This is where I would have spent most of summer holidays as a youngster. This is the first time I have been back to the forest in about fifteen years.

Hope you enjoy the pics. There's enough of them ;)

Amazing pics! That looks like a really stunning place. I love how the structures look like they're coming out of the earth itself, instead of being built onto it. Nice!

WOW nice!!!!

I want to go there and search for Hobbits. :D

Wow. In my next life... when I have antenna and wings, and live under a toad stool... I'm going to live there. :D Absolutely stunning.

Would you mind if I set one of your photos as my desktop background? :please:

We have already made plans to go back for a week next summer or autumn and that still won't be enough time to go exploring :cool:

Don't know about Hobbits but there's plenty of Pine Martins about but it was impossible to get a pic of them :taz:

You're more than welcome to use one of the photo's for your desktop and it is indeed a stunning place. I'll be visiting Tullymore at least once a year, if not more from now on.

Wow those pictures are absoultely amazing! My girlfriend and I really enjoy checking out these threads that you post, we both want to visit Ireland and Scottland very much. Beautiful countryside I hope to walkthrough one day.
