    Hiking

    Taking almost 20 years to build, the 19-mile (31 km) Mourne Wall runs across the principal summits of the Mourne Mountains. It was built to keep livestock from contaiminating the Silent Valley Reservoir and passes over no less than 15 peaks in the Mournes.

    Its perimeter has given rise to the Mourne Wall Challenge where hikers complete a full circuit of the wall, visiting seven of Northern Ireland's ten highest mountains and conquering over 8,000 feet (2,400 metres) of elevation gain.
