For our first Sunday walk since lockdown we are going to walk from Dundrum to Newcastle.
This walk goes largely around the coastline, along the beach and through Murlough Nature Reserve so it should be easier for people to employ social distancing and there are stunning views of the Mournes to be had.
We will meet up at 9.50 for a 10.00 am start at the Dundrum public car park which is opposite the Church. There are three car parks on your left, the first car park is usually the scene of a large car boot sale, although this may be suspended due to Covid. The second one is a private one for the church and the last one is the public car park. This car park is the one in which we shall meet at 9.50am before starting our walk at 10.00 am.
Our plan is to leave our cars parked at Dundrum, walk to Newcastle, where we will have lunch, before returning to Dundrum to pick up our cars
We have checked the tide timetable, there is a high tide due around 5.25pm so high tide should not affect our walk
