Rostrevor for sure..!!

if you can do both on different days,  then do Castlewellan first as you will enjoy it.  Then Rostrevor on the 2nd day will be so much better

In Rostrevor as Paul said, Red is an excellent (XC) loop pure class, BUT....! the Black loop has a 20-25min Enduro descent (big bike style) rides really well the climb for both is the same trail (a killer)
Also would recommend the uplift service for 'Mega Mission' its a real skills delevoloper (I did it seven times in a row so good..! and also an easy roll) now 'On the Pulse' is a downhill track (great fun even on Enduro bike but tricky Be Careful..!) Enjoy super trails good food (visa or sterling needed)

Ended up doing the black loop and 1 run of mega mission as the uplift wasn't running. Great place. We should do a club spin
