The extremely popular ‘Families First Awards’ took place in the Armagh City Hotel and gave parents their say in recognising the products, people and brands their families love across the Island of Ireland.

Nestled in the Ring of Gullion, the Slieve Gullion Forest Park has something to offer for all the family and is open 7 days a week.

Newry, Mourne and Down District Council Chairperson, Councillor Micky Ruane said, “I am delighted that Slieve Gullion Forest Park won this prestigious award.

“The park offers the unmissable opportunity to experience tranquil woodland trails and fairy walks as well as an action packed Adventure Park, duck pond and walled garden.
