Cross the first bridge and continue up the trail until you reach the second bridge. Cross the second bridge and continues up the trail.

Park at the Donard car park in Newcastle (southern end of town). No walk in trail, straight hike to the top in about 1hr 30/40 minutes. Enjoy the view over the Irish Sea and to the heart of the Mournes. The top (on a clear day)affords you the only opportunity in the British Isles to see :- England, Scotland, Wales and Republic of Ireland.
