I decided that my first proper official post here would be one on what Growing up in Rostrevor personally means to me. Firstly I love living here because it is such a beautiful place filled with delightful places to eat, drink socialize, explore and so on and so forth but you understand the idea. Most of my family live in Rostrevor and some quite close to my house so it feels good to be so close to the people I love the most.
How you ask can I elaborate on how much I loved growing up in Rostrevor, well aside from the Family aspect, it is the place itself which completes it. Rostrevor is filled with lovely places to explore from parks to mountains so you are spoiled for choice if it is an adventure you desire. There will be further posts elaborating on some of Rostrevor’s beauty spots but two I would like to briefly mention are Kilbroney Park and the Fairyglen. They are two nice places to walk in and when you are a child it is places like that which inspire excitement and awe.
As a Little One, I always remember going for walks with my parents around the park and glen and always enjoying exploring the forest. Places like these can inspire imagination and you think about your favorite books and films. As someone who loved Fairy Tales and Disney Movies as a child, walking through the woods and Glen really inspired the imagination. I just loved it, being able to explore such nice places as a child make you truly appreciate what’s around you and the beauty of these local surroundings. I also remember going for late night walks when it was really dark and the park looked quite twisted and spooky as if something was going to jump out at you. Even Today I still love to walk through the beauty of the Park/Glen with the dogs Molly and Ziggy who love to get out explore and chase the odd squirrel or two. There is something about walking through the woodland which gives one a feeling of relaxation and tranquility. It’s the beauty of the surroundings in my opinion
Little Anecdote although I’m not sure you will call it that. When I was 5/6 I wandered out of the house to the Park looking for Bambi. I still haven’t found him yet but maybe next time. But overall living in Rostrevor to me personally is a delight as there is no shortage of lovely people, places to explore and places to eat and drink. Stay tuned for more posts on the best places to explore in Rostrevor and the nicest places for a meal/drinks
