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.

Two wooden ladders cross the wall on the way to the Silver Muck mountain peak

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

Slieve Muck, meaning Pig Mountain) is 2,199 feet (670 m) high. The source of the River Bann is on its Northern slope. Under a certain light the stony side of the eastern slope seems to spell out 'poverty', leading to some locals calling it Poverty Mountain.

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.

The ascent to Slieve Muck from the main road is quite a steep and punchy one. It's a great one to do if you want elevation, and quickly. From the top, you can marvel at the rugged beauty of the Mourne landscape, and, on a clear day, you might even catch a glimpse of the Irish Sea.

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

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
