Kilbroney Park and Slieve Gullion parking fees come into force

Motorists visiting Kilbroney Park and Slieve Gullion Forest Park will face new parking charges from Monday.

Both sites were previously free to access but now fees are being charged to visitors who drive into the parks.

Households within Newry, Mourne and Down Council can apply for a permit giving them free access to drive into one of four parks in the council area.

Non-residents and motorists without permits must pay a daily fee which depends on the size of their vehicle.
