Mourne Mountains

The best known mountains in Ireland consist of 12 shapely summits rising above 2,000 feet on the eastern side, and the rugged peak of Slieve Donard that climbs steeply to 2,796 feet.

I'm not a hiker but I love driving through the Mournes. There are amazing stone walls everywhere and fields of sheep. My favourite loops is from Rostrevor, up past Spelga Dam and around to Dundrum then either back that way or along the coast. This area is a gem. So many great places to explore and exceptional scenery. Loads to enjoy even for the less active types although i gather the hiking is incredible too.

Fab afternoon spent mountain biking around beautiful Castle Ward. Bike were ace - they even had a perfect fit for my 6’5” tall husband.

I just had my sons 7th birthday at clip and climb! 10 5-7yr olds - it’s was fantastic! Most of the kids had never climbed before so I was a bit worried but the all had a ball, the staff were always on hand to clip them off and on and I got a key to do it to! There was a great range of walls and all the kids were able to climb!! The kids climbed for 1 hr after half hour getting harnessed up and a short talk which they all enjoyed! The kids were wrecked after it!! I highly recommend this for a party, I’ll be back again next year! Something a bit different and with Macdonald’s on the way home it was the cheapest party I have ever had!! 5 stars - great staff, so friendly & great fun xx
