Ross Monument

About

Discover the striking Ross Monument, an Egyptian-style obelisk erected in 1826 on a hill overlooking Rostrevor to commemorate Sir Robert Ross and his victory at Bladensburg during the War of 1812–15. Set within a dramatic landscape, this unusual monument offers both historical interest and panoramic views across Carlingford Lough.

Visitors are invited to explore the site at their own pace, taking in its unique design and scenic setting, or join one of the guided tours taking place on both days  to learn more about the story behind the monument and its connection to international history.

Whether visiting independently or as part of a tour, this is a memorable opportunity to experience a distinctive and lesser-known heritage site in a truly spectacular location.
