Down‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪7‬개의 호수

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.

Lough Money is a quiet, almost mystical place, perfect for relaxing and taking a deep breath.

Lough Money is the source for the River Slaney, which flows to the supposed landing spot of Saint Patrick on Strangford Lough.

Beautified by the presence of herons, just one of many bird species that comprise an abundance of bird life.
