The little cottage buried under the greenery was once a tiny youth hostel in Raholp village, Co Down, Northern Ireland, run by the Youth Hostel Association of Northern Ireland. It opened in 1937, but was curtailed at the outbreak of war. The smart cottage beyond it was the warden's house. The Grid Reference is checked against the NI 1" map of 1966.
