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.

A really beautiful waterfall

This small waterfall of the Schmink River can be admired less than 300 m from the hiking trail.

This boardwalk runs right through the thick of the Murlough Nature Reserve, a beautiful 6000-year-old sand dune system owned by the National Trust. This diverse and fragile ecosystem is home to a number of fascinating wildlife species including mammals, birds, and hundreds of insects.

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.

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.

Here you will enter 'The Mournes', a majestic granite mountain range situated in County Down, in the south-east of Northern Ireland. The Mournes are characterised by rugged peaks, sparkling reservoirs, epic scenery, and legendary stories.

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.
