    Hiking

    Northern Ireland’s highest peak and the pinnacle of the Mourne Mountains, Slieve Donard rises directly from the shore of the Irish Sea. The 19-mile (31 km) Mourne Wall joins a stone tower and the remains of two burial cairns on the summit, from where the Isle of Man, Anglesey, and the West Coast of Scotland can be seen.

    Hiking

    Gorgeous views of County Down, provided that clouds don't cover the view. Expect lots of rocks and a decent ascend/descent.

    Hiking

    This is just a superb mountain to do. The Mournes are a beautiful mountain range to hike in and any hike that takes in Slieve Donard is superb. The Mourne wall also makes any hike here more spectacular. I only had the time to do the one hike here but I have no doubt I will be back. The Mournes are really quite magical and are a hidden gem of a hiking area. For route details click here: komoot.com/tour/277138904
