Fabulous stone (free to visit) not too far from Belfast. I highly recommend a visit - the itself is very interesting, about 30m diameter. And the walk to is enchanting, through a tunnel - approx 5-10mins. Can be a bit muddy... Parking: Parking is a bit tricky - as per other reviews - I have included a photo of the street parking to help others as we found it hard to locate. The sign is only visible when driving from one direction. The space available is 1-2 cars. This wasn't a problem on the winter weekday afternoon we visited. A lovely walkway down to the with lots of quirky gifts for the fairys What magical little gem this is! Found it when searching for stone circles and so glad we did. Park up at the side of the road and follow the sign to the tunnel that looks like it was taken straight out of lord of the rings. People (very wisely) have left little trinkets for the fairies along the tunnel and some have even made little houses. The storm itself is very impressive, some of the largest stones we have seen and very well preserved. There is a Hawthorne in the which people have tied strips of fabric to make wishes and some more little gifts have been left here too. A very quiet and peaceful place surrounded by sheep, fresh air and wonder. Definitely a must see if down that neck of the woods or make a day of it and head to st John's point lighthouse afterwards. Unusual historical site off the beaten track. Very few other visitors there. interesting and worth seeing. Note parking may be a problem Mystical, historical, educational. Free entry. Be mindful of farm animals. Nowhere to park. No footpath. Sacred space to visit, beautiful archway entryway. On Thin Places list. You get to be surrounded by sheep too ! One of my absolute favourite spots in N.I. A fantastic neolithic stone in the middle of the county Down countryside, about three miles south of Downpatrick. Access is a 5-10 min walk via a long Holloway and then into a field. There's about 50 stones and a cairn, and superb views of the Mournes. Be aware parking at the site is very limited, along a narrow country road. Paths and field can get muddy, and there is sometimes livestock freely roaming. Something else to note is a recent tradition of leaving offerings at the site. The path in has had a number of fairy doors added, alongside various offerings. At times this can build up and looks rather untidy, with an abundance of plastic toys. A that has grown up over the last 20 years in the itself has been adopted as a clootie tree. If you must leave something here, please limit it to organic biodegradable fabrics like wool and linen. The general rule when visiting a site like this is to leave no trace - enjoy the space but respect it's importance. Peaceful historical place with great views. We took a trip up here on the sunniest day! Pretty hard to spot off the road, I drive past the tiny lane way a couple of times but was worth the effort when we got there. Gorgeous little path a little like the dark hedges but in miniature form... covered in ribbons and little teddies and fairy doors. The stone itself is interesting and sits in a field with stunning views all round. Look out for the fairy too! So pretty. Very “Secret Garden.” We were the only two there. Chatted with the farmer who came to check his sheep across the street for about 20 minutes. He was a hoot! Excellent stone with beautiful views and a lovely walk down to it along a gorse path. Highly recommend. Very little parking, just be aware. Very mystic place, walking throug a fairy path to the location.
