Description

Rostrevor Mountain Bike Centre sits within Kilbroney Park and Rostrevor Forest on the shores of Carlingford Lough, a short roll from Rostrevor village. The network covers all disciplines: a 27km red cross-country loop, a 20km black alternative, and two dedicated downhill trails served by uplift, making Rostrevor the most complete MTB venue in Northern Ireland. Bike hire, a cafe, showers and the Bike Mourne team are based at the trailhead.

  • Mega Mission (DH): 1.7km purpose-built downhill with big berms, tabletops and jump sections. Served by Bike Mourne uplift.
