Visit the Mourne Mountains, County Down
It would be a shame to miss out seeing the Mourne Mountains while traveling across Ireland. The granite mountain range is located in Northern Ireland, especially in County Down to the south. It's an area of breathtaking natural beauty and one of the best spots to go trekking. You may rent a bike and enjoy a fresh perspective of the hilly scenery on two wheels if you wish to cover more territory without walking for kilometers. There are also several granite cliffs in the form of outcrops and tors spread across the range. The cliffs are ideal for rock climbing.
It's simple to understand why the Mournes are one of Ireland's favorite walking locations. The network of pathways and tracks that span this mountain range is tough for the faint of heart, but the vistas of valleys, lakes, rivers, and reservoirs make the effort worthwhile. This section is quite steep in places and should only be tackled by experienced hikers. The ascent to the peak is hard, but well worth it for the superb views of the County Down coast, Newcastle town, and Murlough Dunes - and on a clear day, Scrabo Tower and the Isle of Man.
