オーグリムの絶景の山頂・トップ14

Starting from Carrick Little Car Park, the hiking path to Slieve Binnian offers a rewarding journey through the heart of the Mourne Mountains. This moderate to challenging loop, approximately 11.2 km in length, follows the Mourne Wall, a historic dry-stone structure built in the early 1900s, guiding hikers toward the summit of Slieve Binnian (747 m). The ascent is steady, with a mix of rocky terrain and scenic views. As you approach the summit, the path becomes more rugged, leading to the iconic South and North Tors. From the summit, panoramic vistas unfold, offering breathtaking views of the Silent Valley and the surrounding peaks.

Great views all the way along this path

Lovely long dirt road for a hike or a run

Enjoy a phenomenal bit of Mournes scenery to take your mind off the fact that you're about to begin your ascent up a mountain. In your periphery, you can see Slieve Binnian to the west, Slieve Lamagan to the North, and Rocky Mountain to the east.

Hen Mountain is one of the less challenging climbs of the Mourne Mountain range, not to worry though, as it still provides the stunning panoramic views that the Mournes are so good at showcasing. There are a few rocky outcrops up here which can be discovered and explored, just do watch your footing as you move about.

Cove Mountain is one of the summits in the heart of the Mourne Mountains, in the land enclosed by the great Mourne Wall. It stands proud above the northern shore of Ben Crom Reservoir and can be hiked along with Slieve Lamagan to the southwest and Slieve Beg to the northeast. It's position towards the centre of the range gives it a beautiful panorama.

Probably the best mountain to take kids up! Easy access, only 1 path and great views at the top!

Slieve Bearnagh from the Irish “Sliabh Bearna” meaning “Gapped Mountain” gets its name from its two giant rocky tors and the col lying between them. It is the 4th highest in the range and another 700m+ peak carrying the Mourne Wall with saddles at Pollaphuca to the West and Hares Gap to the East. It is most accessible starting from the Cecil Newman Car Park and following the Trassey Track up and over Hares Gap, turning right and climbing the steps to meet the Mourne Wall which you follow to both summits. The final climb is steep requiring some hands and knees type scrambling. If doing a circular route descending from the North Tor (680m / J315282) to Pollaphuca is also extremely steep so care is required.
