CASTLEWELLAN UNDERWAY....

Yes, it's true, the construction of the trails at Castlewellan is finally underway.

Whilst trail building at Rostrevor is all about working in the middle of nowhere on top of a mountain with lots of peat, rocks and water, Castlewellan is a whole different ball of wax.

Castlewellan Forest Park has been managed with landscaping and biodiversity in mind for generations and these trails have to take that into account.

The Euroservices guys are doing a fantastic job on Section 18 at Castlewellan, where the landscaping of the trails is so important.

But the crucial thing is that the trail planning and design process that we used at Castlewellan has allowed for all of these issues to be taken into consideration and built into the construction process from the start. This means that Euroservices are able to get it right first time - just take a look at the photos below to decide for yourself if this is the case.
