The Kilmorey Arms Hotel has been welcoming guests for the last 175 years and has hosted some very famous guests; Churchhill, Generals Eisenhower, & Patton, as the second largest American airbase in the UK, Greencastle Aerodrome was located. The Mournes were immortalised in the song "Where the Mountains of Mourne Sweep down to the Sea" and was the inspiration for C S Lewis's magical literary "Narnia" landscape.
