Spelga Dam is located about a 10 mile drive from Newcastle. It is a man made dam built in 1960. It is noted for it’s ability to make cars roll up the hill. Just in front of the dam is a small in road only about 30m long that when people park their cars, turn off the engine, take it out of gear and release the handbrake the car appears to very slowly roll up the hill. ( having heard of it and being sceptical, i was very impresses when shown. )

    Beautiful place to visit, I rented the original house that was built for the dam keeper. It over looks the electric hill that makes the cars roll uphill. We also visited tollymore and newcastle, which was as usual perfect for food and a stroll along the promenade. I had a great weekend in a wonderful setting and equally great accommodation. Can’t wait to my next visit to the high Mournes.
