발리고리안 구걸‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪5‬개의 천연기념물

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.

The well-signposted paths lead you through dense forests and offer impressive views of Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains. The mountain bike routes in particular are varied and require both fitness and technique. However, some sections can be slippery in wet weather, so caution is advised. A highlight is the Cloughmore Stone, a huge boulder that was transported here during the last ice age. The approach there is steep, but the view makes up for the effort.

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.

Beautiful Forest features scenic trails with amazing views of Carlingford Lough, especially from The Cloghmore Stone, a 40 tonne granite boulder which was deposited here at the end of the last ice age. The Oak wood is a Special Area of Conservation believed to be over 250 years old. It is a remnant of the old oak woodlands that clothed the lower slopes of the Mournes several centuries ago. Most of these oak woods were cleared during the 18th and 19th centuries for use in boat building.

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!

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.
