“‘That part of Rostrevor which overlooks Carlingford Lough is my idea of Narnia’ – CS Lewis”. Lewis wrote these words in a letter to his brother Warnie (Guardian), referring to time spent in the area as a child (Ireland.com). The lough can be seen from the glacial erratic known as Cloughmore (the big stone), which sits 300 metres above the town in Kilbroney Park on the slopes of Slieve Martin; a snowy image from behind the rock can be seen at Heart Of Rostrevor.
Also included is an image of the small painting of Mr. Tumnus on the front of the building – he welcomes children who have stepped through the wardrobe.
Both are by Pigment Space (ig) on the Rostrevor Inn in Bridge Street, Rostrevor.
