Walk The Mournes
The Mourne Mountains offer a tranquil spot to pause and reflect. It’s little wonder that these summits and valleys have been immortalised in verse and song. But it wasn’t always so. Once upon a time, this famous range was a hive of activity for stone masons, soldiers, and even smugglers.
Join expert mountain guide Peter Rafferty as he stretches your imagination - and your legs - as you follow rocky paths at a gentle pace, stopping for breaks to take in the sights and sounds of this special mountain range.
