    Tips

    August 19, 2025

    Slieve Commedagh, at 767 meters, is the second-highest peak in the Mourne Mountains and a rewarding climb for any hiker. Its summit offers sweeping views across the Mournes and out to the Irish Sea, a reminder of how close these mountains sit to the coast. The ascent is steep and demanding, often over pathless ground, but never overly technical in good weather. You can climb it on its own or link it with nearby peaks such as Slieve Donard, making for a truly memorable day in the heart of the Mournes.

      Slieve Commedagh holds the impressive title of being the second-highest peak in the entire Mournes Mountain range. The peak commands excellent views of Donard Forest and the Newcastle coast to the North East and the inner Mournes to the rear.

        Slieve Commedagh is the second-highest mountain in NI at 767m.
        With spectacular views across Newcastle and over the rest of the Northern Mournes, it is well worth the climb. To reach the peak, head slightly north-east from this point and travel a few hundreds metres.
