The Top of Northern Ireland - Mourne Mountains

Mourne Mountains from Murlough Bay

This has to be an area of outstanding beauty!
The Mourne Mountains are the most picturesque mountain district in Ireland. The twelve peaks include Slieve Donard, which at 850m is Northern Ireland's highest mountain.
The Mourne Mountains provide the every outdoor activity - hill walking, cycling, climbing, golf, horse riding, fishing - the perfect holiday location.
Famed in song and close to the heart of everyone in Ireland are the Mourne Mountains.
