1904-22년에 건설된 마운 월(Mourne Wall)은 원래 벨파스트의 수원지인 워터 저수지(Water Reservoir) 주변의 유역(36km²)을 보호하기 위한 것이었습니다. 현대적인 정수 처리 시설 덕분에 오늘날에는 더 이상 중요하지 않습니다. 35km 길이의 이 벽은 가공되지 않은 화강암으로 만들어졌으며, 북아일랜드에서 가장 높은 슬리브 돈나드(Slieve Donard)를 포함한 마운 산맥의 15개 봉우리를 넘으며 아름다운 하이킹 코스를 제공합니다. 어떤 사람들은 하루 만에 이 벽을 따라 걷는 도전을 합니다.

작은 전시회는 댐 건설의 힘든 작업에 대한 통찰력을 제공합니다. 그 옆에는 노동자들을 위해 지어진 집들이 보입니다.

The Duck Pond feels like a calm secret waiting to be discovered. Recommended by hikers and tucked into a protected area, it’s a gentle spot where water glimmers among reeds and mountains frame the quiet mirror below.

Silent Valley Reservoir, nestled in the Mourne Mountains, is a peaceful retreat surrounded by sweeping granite peaks and heathered slopes. Built in the early 20th century to supply water to Belfast and much of County Down, the reservoir combines striking engineering with natural beauty. Visitors can stroll along well-kept paths, admire the Victorian-style dam and impressive Mourne Wall, or simply enjoy the quiet atmosphere by the lakeshore.

This section of the path is not maintained at all. It’s overgrown with high vegetation, thorny plants, and hidden holes. The terrain is quite challenging and can be dangerous, with boggy patches and rocks concealed in the tall grass. Take care and be cautious when walking here.

A tea room located in the beautiful setting of Silent Valley Mountain Park. The café is open daily all year round, which is convenient, but unfortunately the food quality is very disappointing. The staff are friendly, but I had one of the worst ham and cheese sandwiches of my life: dry bread, bland ham, and cheese that tasted like the lowest supermarket grade. The bread was probably the only halfway decent part of it.

The well-maintained trails take you through impressive scenery, surrounded by the striking peaks of the Mournes. The view of the Mourne Wall, which stretches for 35 kilometers and connects 15 peaks, is particularly impressive. However, some sections can become slippery in wet weather, so caution is advised. A highlight is a visit to Ben Crom Reservoir, which can be reached via an extension of the route. Note that there is a fee to enter the park.
