Surrounded by bodies of water, forests, and rolling green pastures, the village of Rostrevor is a wonderful destination for those who want a change of scenery. The picturesque Irish village sits on the shores of Carlingford Lough. Despite its relatively small population, it is a lively place steeped in history. The village dates back to 1612, and its name comes from Sir Edward Trevor, who settled in the area, and the Irish word “ros,” which means a wooded headland. Rostrevor is a place where you’d want to spend lots of time outside. It is a gateway to Mourne Mountains, Slieve Martin, and Rostrevor Forest.
