Hare's Gap is a dramatic mountain pass nestled in the heart of the Mourne Mountains. This striking pass, situated between Slieve Bearnagh and Slievenaglogh, offers hikers a blend of natural beauty and historical intrigue. From this vantage point, hikers are treated to panoramic views of the surrounding peaks and valleys. The pass itself is historically significant, having once served as a route for smuggling goods across the mountains, adding a layer of intrigue to the hike. Hare's Gap is a popular starting point for various hikes, including ascents of Slieve Bearnagh and Slieve Meelmore.

Hare’s Gap is one of the most iconic passes in the Mourne Mountains, marked by its rugged stile and dramatic views that open up across the range. Once a historic smuggling route, it remains a natural gateway into the high Mournes, with steep paths and striking rock formations framing the way. From here, the landscape unfolds in every direction, making it a perfect spot to pause, take in the scenery, and appreciate the wild beauty of these mountains.

The Mourne Wall is one of the most iconic landmarks of the Mourne Mountains, stretching for 35 kilometers across 15 summits. Built by hand in the early 20th century to enclose the Silent Valley Reservoir catchment area, it’s an impressive feat of craftsmanship and endurance. Today, hikers crossing its path are struck not only by its scale and history but also by the way it weaves naturally into the dramatic mountain landscape. Following the wall offers some of the best ridge walks in the Mournes, making it both a cultural treasure and a perfect guide for exploring these rugged peaks.

Easy route no special gear required. Very scenic

Wonderful forest with an even more beautiful river

A cute little bridge to walk under

A wonderful path leads along the Schimna River through the Tollymore National Park. Nature literally overwhelms me with colors, green jungle and unusual plants. There is a relatively small infrastructure at the park entrance: a rest area, toilets and a small catering vehicle are available.
