アナフンシゴの絶景の山頂・トップ8

Reaching the summit of Slieve Donard feels like stepping into a small, timeless world. There, the stone tower and cairn stand quietly... a simple yet powerful landmark marking the peak of Northern Ireland’s highest mountain. This spot offers more than panoramic views across the Mournes, it anchors the moment, inviting you to pause and reflect on your journey.

On the summit of Slieve Meelmore stands a small stone shelter, a welcome spot to rest after the steady climb up. From here, the views stretch across the Mournes, with Slieve Bearnagh’s rocky tors dominating the skyline. The shelter gives hikers a place to pause, shielded from the wind, and enjoy the sweeping mountain scenery before continuing along the Mourne Wall.

A very nice path up to Spaltha. BUT!! This is NOT a circular route! Muddy meadows and moors, but on the Komoot route, there is NO path anywhere! We wandered around and then found parts of an official hiking trail, but mostly we wandered over moors. Be careful!!

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.

Great views back down over Hen mountain from here. Best approached from the Hen mountain side and just head straight up. Not a very well worn path but it's easy to see where you need to go. It can get wet/muddy (as mountains generally do!) so best to be in decent hiking footwear.

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

This is a great little walk around 4 smaller hills in The Mournes.

The Mourne Wall leads to the summit and there, like Slieve Donard, is a tower probably built to give some shelter to the workmen who constructed the wall. Meelmore also has what appears to be an old stonemasons hut at J302285 with plenty of part cut stone on its periphery showing that Meelmore was likely another spot that materials were gathered for the Mourne Wall.
