both Upper and Lower Squares including a Post Office, banks, library, churches, schools and 
a community centre. It also has an important  tourist and recreation role, catering for tourists 
and day-trippers attracted to the Forest Park  and the recently developed Heritage Centre.

Beauty, with extensive views of the Mourne Mountains to the south. The wooded slopes of 
Castlewellan Forest Park to the north provide a strong backdrop to the village.

straight approach roads. The village contains a range of listed buildings and was designated 
a Conservation Area in 1992 with specific implications for the design and layout of
