Castlewellan Tips
Fans of classic books by the Brontë sisters will enjoy a short outing from Castlewellan to Drumballyroney, near Rathfriland. It's here that the girls' father Patrick lived and worked in his youth. Drumballyroney Church and School, where Patrick preached and taught, have been preserved, and include exhibitions about the Brontës. The ruined cottage where Patrick was born in Emdale can be seen too, along with the childhood home of Alice McClory, his mother. All Brontë sites are signposted from Drumballyroney. - Tyra
