That moment where the mountain trail opens up to sea view bliss. Standing at this lookout in the Mourne Mountains, you’re treated to a wide, sweeping scene. A simple, beautiful reward for your walk, one of those views you’ll want to revisit in your memory long after the hike.

Standing at 525m Rocky Mountain offers commanding views all the way down to Carlingford Lough to the South or deeped into the Mournes to the East.

A tough climb from any direction but a great place to refuel and enjoy the views.

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.

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

Slieve Bearnagh from the Irish “Sliabh Bearna” meaning “Gapped Mountain” gets its name from its two giant rocky tors and the col lying between them. It is the 4th highest in the range and another 700m+ peak carrying the Mourne Wall with saddles at Pollaphuca to the West and Hares Gap to the East. It is most accessible starting from the Cecil Newman Car Park and following the Trassey Track up and over Hares Gap, turning right and climbing the steps to meet the Mourne Wall which you follow to both summits. The final climb is steep requiring some hands and knees type scrambling. If doing a circular route descending from the North Tor (680m / J315282) to Pollaphuca is also extremely steep so care is required.

I did a hike that took in Slieve Bearnagh and Slieve Donard and it was a scenic delight. The Mourne wall made it all the better. For my route click here: https://www.komoot.com/tour/277138904

Atmospheric landmark, easy to get to: just a quick jog up Batt's Road and swing to the left. Probably a good place for rock climbers.
