Starting from Carrick Little Car Park, the hiking path to Slieve Binnian offers a rewarding journey through the heart of the Mourne Mountains. This moderate to challenging loop, approximately 11.2 km in length, follows the Mourne Wall, a historic dry-stone structure built in the early 1900s, guiding hikers toward the summit of Slieve Binnian (747 m). The ascent is steady, with a mix of rocky terrain and scenic views. As you approach the summit, the path becomes more rugged, leading to the iconic South and North Tors. From the summit, panoramic vistas unfold, offering breathtaking views of the Silent Valley and the surrounding peaks.

On the summit of Slieve Meelmore stands a small stone shelter, a welcome spot to rest after the steady climb up. From here, the views stretch across the Mournes, with Slieve Bearnagh’s rocky tors dominating the skyline. The shelter gives hikers a place to pause, shielded from the wind, and enjoy the sweeping mountain scenery before continuing along the Mourne Wall.

I was lucky to see them at their best today, beautiful 😍

Great views all the way along this path

Lovely long dirt road for a hike or a run

Enjoy a phenomenal bit of Mournes scenery to take your mind off the fact that you're about to begin your ascent up a mountain. In your periphery, you can see Slieve Binnian to the west, Slieve Lamagan to the North, and Rocky Mountain to the east.

Congratulations, you've made it up the mighty Slieve Donard. Being the highest of the Mourne Mountain peaks, this is an incredible achievement. Take a well-earned rest and enjoy the phenomenal views across the stunning Mournes and out to the Irish Sea.
