The Mourne Mountains & Ring of Gullioncaters for adventurers of all ages. Our driving principle is to fuel a love of the great outdoors in people of all ages. Information and statistics on tourism to the Mournes were gathered by TourismNI in 2014. [41] In a survey of leisure visitors, 79% were found to come from Northern Ireland, 15% from elsewhere in the British Isles or Republic of Ireland, and 5–6% were international visitors. [42] Two-thirds of all visitors made a single-day trip rather staying overnight, and party sizes averaged between 3 and 4 people. [43]Living here in partnership with nature, the people of Mourne Mountains & Ring of Gullion are to be found every day in their craft breweries and distilleries, their artisan shops, and on farms that produce some of the finest local food on the island. Kirk, David (2002). The Mountains of Mourne: A Celebration of a Place Apart. Belfast: Appletree Press. ISBN 0-86281-846-X. The mountain slopes drop down to cultivated farmland and occasional forestry, with the sea adding further interest to the eastern and southern inclines. Several small natural loughs and rivers join the man-made dams of Silent Valley, Ben Crom and Spelga to add diversity to the landscape. The 31.4km Mourne Wall is an outstanding feat of construction and frames some of the finest mountain views in Ireland. It is Northern Ireland’s longest listed building, crossing 15 summits and serving as a perfect navigational aid. It was built by the Belfast Water Commissioners between 1904 and 1922 to enclose the 9,000-acre catchment area of the Silent Valley Reservoir. On the circular Ring of Gullion Way, you’ll encounter dense forests, country lanes and a spectacular landscapeconsidered to be the best example of a ring dyke anywhere in the UK or Ireland. One of the most difficult hikes in the Mournes, Slieve Bearnagh is definitely worth the challenge, making it one of the best Mourne Mountain walks.
