Life Adventure Centre

Life Adventure sits within the beautiful grounds of Castlewellan Forest Park, right at the edge of the Mournes. It’s a great spot if you want a day out where you can bring your dog and enjoy the scenery together. The trails around the centre are fully accessible to dogs, and the forest park itself has plenty of space for steady walks, woodland exploring and lakeside views.

Dogs must be kept on a lead throughout the site and on the surrounding trails. This is to protect local wildlife and livestock, and it’s something the park and nearby landowners take seriously. The good news is that the environment is very dog friendly as long as you follow those rules.

If you’re planning something a bit more adventurous, the team at Life Adventure also provide dog life jackets for kayaking sessions. It means your dog can join you safely on the water, provided they’re calm, confident and comfortable around boats. Staff will check fit and suitability before you head out.

It’s an ideal choice for owners who want a full outdoor day without leaving their dog behind, with the reassurance that safety and comfort have already been thought through.
