コックマウンテンコモンでののおすすめランニングルート

Hare’s Gap is one of the most iconic passes in the Mourne Mountains, marked by its rugged stile and dramatic views that open up across the range. Once a historic smuggling route, it remains a natural gateway into the high Mournes, with steep paths and striking rock formations framing the way. From here, the landscape unfolds in every direction, making it a perfect spot to pause, take in the scenery, and appreciate the wild beauty of these mountains.

Slieve Loughshannagh is one of the quieter summits in the Mourne Mountains, but it rewards hikers with wide, open views over Silent Valley, Slieve Binnian, and the western Mournes. The climb isn’t too demanding, and the summit has a peaceful, windswept feel, making it a lovely spot to pause and take in the rugged beauty of the landscape.

The Mourne Wall is one of the most iconic landmarks of the Mourne Mountains, stretching for 35 kilometers across 15 summits. Built by hand in the early 20th century to enclose the Silent Valley Reservoir catchment area, it’s an impressive feat of craftsmanship and endurance. Today, hikers crossing its path are struck not only by its scale and history but also by the way it weaves naturally into the dramatic mountain landscape. Following the wall offers some of the best ridge walks in the Mournes, making it both a cultural treasure and a perfect guide for exploring these rugged peaks.

Not a particularly high mountain but possibly the best 360 degree view in the Mournes!

At 617m high, Slieve Loughshannagh isn't the highest in the Mournes but it does offer fantastic views down over the lough and deeper into the Mournes.

One of the very best mountains in the Mournes! Not a huge climb but incredible views in every direction!

It can get windy up here so plan a break up here and take shelter behind the wall for a quick snack.
