The Mournes is an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and has been proposed as the first national park in Northern Ireland. |
Slieve Donard sits at the northeastern edge of the Mournes, overlooking Newcastle and Dundrum Bay. |
Aside from grasses, the most common plants found in the Mournes are heathers and gorse. |
It looks very good indeed, I see they've published a nice booklet describing everything the Mournes have going for them. |
The Mournes are visited by many tourists, hillwalkers, cyclists and rock climbers. |
The Mournes are a very popular area for hiking, the Wall providing a convenient navigation aid. |
