Walking the Mourne Mountains covers one of the finest hill-walking destinations in Ireland - a compact granite range rising steeply from the Irish Sea coast of County Down, Northern Ireland. This definitive guide presents 30 primary routes and over 70 variations, graded Easy to Very Hard, taking in all 14 mountain summits including Slieve Donard (850m), the highest point in Northern Ireland and Ulster, and many smaller hills.
The Mournes are among Ireland's most accessible upland areas, just 50km south of Belfast and 120km from Dublin, with regular bus services to the main gateway town of Newcastle. A summer Mourne Rambler bus links key trailheads for walkers without cars. Abundant accommodation - from hotels and B&Bs to glamping and camping - in Newcastle, Rostrevor, Kilkeel and the surrounding area makes the Mournes equally well suited to a day walk or a full walking holiday.
-30 primary routes and 70+ variations providing 100+ unique walks, graded Easy, Moderate, Hard and Very Hard
-All 14 Mourne Hewitt summits covered, including Slieve Donard (850m), the highest point in Northern Ireland
-Includes the Mourne Wall Challenge (32km/19.9 miles) and the newly-created Mourne Ultra - five interconnected loops traversing the full range
-GPX files available to download; fully integrated with the Cicerone app for offline GPS navigation
-Recommended maps: Harvey Maps 1:25k Superwalker, OSNI 1:50k Discoverer Sheet 29, OSNI 1:25k Activity Series
-Practical planning chapters on transport, parking, seasonal conditions, accommodation and access across the range
-Many routes connect to the Mourne Way waymarked trail
