Castlewellan walk
« on: 20:02:00, 10/01/16 »
I completed a circular walk around Castlewellan forest park yesterday. As the lakeside path was closed due to flooding, I walked to the Moorish tower on a new path before climbing to Slievenaslat, the highest point of the day. The total distance was approximately 5 miles.


Cloud-covered Mournes from the start of the walk:



Castlewellan lake and autumn wood:



Belfast hills from Moorish tower I think:




Moorish tower view:




More reflections near the summit:




A Zoom-in on Slieve Corragh and Slievenaglogh:




Hen and Rocky from Slievenaslat:



The Mournes from Slievenaslat:



Belfast Lough from Slievenaslat summit (I think)




A view of the Mournes from Slievenaslat descent:




Castlewellan lake reflections:



A new stream, caused by recent floods:

A snow-capped Slieve Donard:
