Embark on an unforgettable adventure into the heart of the Mourne Mountains, one of Northern Ireland’s most spectacular landscapes. Depart the port for a scenic drive through County Down before meeting your expert local guide, Robbie—a passionate outdoorsman who brings the history and beauty of the Mournes vividly to life.
Your guided hike takes you through a dramatic landscape shaped over millions of years. Learn about the geological origins of the mountains and hear fascinating legends, including tales of Slieve Lough Shannagh, the mystical lake of the fox, and the secrets of Butter Mountain. Along the way, enjoy panoramic views as the mountains sweep down to the sea, creating vistas that rival any in Northern Ireland.
The highlight of your journey is crossing the iconic Mourne Wall, a 22-mile dry-stone structure built by hand over a century ago to protect the reservoirs below. Hear stories of the men who constructed this engineering marvel and discover the flora and fauna that thrive in this wild, serene environment. Robbie’s deep knowledge and enthusiasm make this hike a truly immersive experience.
After your hike, rejoin your vehicle for the return journey to port.
