Embark on a difficult hike along The Devil's Coach Road via Cove Mountain, a challenging route spanning 9.3 miles (14.9 km) with an elevation gain of 1976 feet (602 metres), typically taking 4 hours and 56 minutes to complete. This trail leads you through rugged terrain, including a deep, steep gully of loose scree on the granite flanks of Slieve Beg, where footing can be unstable. As you ascend, you will encounter rocky paths and areas covered in heather, offering varied scenery. From Cove Mountain, enjoy panoramic views of the central Mournes, including the Ben Crom Reservoir and distant peaks like Slieve Donard. The route also traverses tranquil valleys with gravel and grassy paths, occasionally crossing small streams, providing a diverse hiking experience.
This is a demanding hike requiring good fitness and sure-footedness, so come prepared with sturdy shoes. The ascent through the loose scree gully of the Devil's Coach Road is particularly challenging and steep, sometimes appearing almost vertical. If you have a fear of heights, this route may not be suitable for you. It is also not recommended for dogs due to the steepness and potential for paw injury. Some sections may involve technical or hazardous terrain, so prior experience and potentially specialist equipment are advisable.

This difficult 12.0-mile (19.4 km) loop through the Mourne Mountains takes you over Slieve Binnian, Slieve Lamagan, and Slieve Donard, requiring about 7 hours and 18 minutes to complete. You will gain 4249 feet (1295 metres) in elevation, traversing diverse and demanding terrain. Expect to scramble over granite boulders on Slieve Binnian, known for its distinctive rocky tors like the Back Castles. The route offers panoramic views, including vistas down to the Silent Valley Reservoir and across the Irish Sea from Slieve Donard's summit. You will encounter heather, granite outcrops, and the historic Mourne Wall guiding your way.
This challenging loop demands a very good level of fitness and experience. You should be prepared for sustained steep climbs and descents, along with rough and uneven terrain. Given the potential for challenging weather conditions, sturdy footwear and appropriate outdoor clothing are essential. Make sure you have strong navigation skills, as paths on Slieve Lamagan can become indistinct. Carry sufficient supplies for the 7-hour and 18-minute duration.
This loop is notable for combining three iconic Mourne peaks, including Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland's highest mountain, and Slieve Binnian, which offers some of the best views in the region. The historic Mourne Wall, a 31-kilometer dry-stone wall built over nearly 20 years, serves as a significant landmark and navigational aid across parts of the trail. You will experience diverse landscapes, from rocky tors and granite outcrops to views of loughs and reservoirs. Completing this physically demanding route offers immense satisfaction and a true sense of accomplishment.
