20의 머니고어가지 명소 & 주요 장소

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.

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.

The gently ascending road winds through a wide, open landscape, surrounded by grassy hills and breathtaking silence. Only the wind and the quiet hum of the tires accompany you here as your gaze wanders into the distance. The climb may be challenging, but the view that opens up with every meter of altitude is worth the effort. Once at the top, you feel free and rewarded, as if you have conquered a piece of nature and then the reward comes with the descent.

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.

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

The Mourne Wall is a great shelter to hide from the wind that can whip around the Mournes

The Mourne Wall is a 22-mile-long, 1.5m high stone wall that stretches through the beautiful Mourne Mountains. It was built to stop livestock from contaminating water supplies, and took almost 20 years to complete!
