Tollymore Forest Park By c. S. KILPATRICK N 1953 the new Porestry Act passed by the Government of Norther? I Ireland contained a clause grantmg power to the Mmistry of Agn­ culture to set up Forest Parks and to proclaim bye-laws for their regu­ lation. The objects of such parks are to encourage the public to take an added interest in forestry and to offer the enjoyment of an area of great natural beauty to as many people as possible. A forest park therefore must be an attractive forest in beautiful surroundings and either in a major tourist area or close to a large town or city. Tollymore Park was an obvious choice as regards attractiveness and proximity to a city and being in one of the major tourist areas of the province, 30 miles south of Belfast and only 2 miles from the sea-side resert of Newcastle "where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. " It was, therefore, declared Northern Ireland's first forest park and was officially opened by the Governor, Lord Wakehurst, before several hundred guests on 2nd June, 1955. The Park, which will be remembered by those members of the Society who visited it in May, 1952, has an area of 1,192 acres and lies in the valley of the Shimna River flowing eastward along the foothills of the Mourne Mountains in a rocky gorge before breaking out to the sea at Newcastle.
