About the host
Hosted by Paul Clerkin

Fifth generation at Crotlieve.
Now retired after a career as a building contractor, in my youth I was a mountaineer & climber travelling to some of the the worlds great landscapes, all reinforcing a love of the outdoors and our wonderful natural and built heritage and I came to realize our own local landscape and remarkable history here in Rostrevor was second to none, so I headed on a new trail and converted my barn to a holiday let and invited people to come stay and see our wonderful little piece of the world.
I have been listing and recording our ancient Rostrevor trees with the Woodland Trust, we entered and campaigned for my favourite tree the Holm oak in Kilbroney meadow and it won the N Ireland Tree of the year for 2016.
From my love and research on the ancient trees, the living legacy of those famous historic families once resident here, I wrote my Tree Trail and with Mourne Heritage trust and council it was produced as the Kilbroney Meadow Tree Trail leaflet.
With a local community group we added poetry and art and published a new Book, The Trees of Kilbroney Park and its available at the Barn and shops in Rostrevor.
Delighted to offer a guided tour of the rare and ancient trees of Kilbroney Meadow, or a historic Ross legacy tour with a stay at the Barn.

Why they chose this property
I grew up here and have always loved the beauty, solitude and magnificent scenery of this place after visiting the property as a child with my father.
I purchased the place in 1982 and built my home on the property and in 2009 I converted my Barn/workshop to the holiday let, Incorporating lots of new Eco developments, recycled natural materials and our own ideas of comfort and homeliness.
Now after 40 years here, I'm still impressed by and never tire of watching the big skies, sunset’s, storms, the wonderful scenery and the seasons as they come and go in the valley, where the Fox, Badger, Red Squirrels and Pine martins feel safe and are welcome visitors from the forest in our gardens.
