The Mountains of Mourne are in Northern Ireland.
They are a brooding range located in County Down on the east coast of Ireland.
They sit between the towns of Newcastle and Newry.
On the sides of the Mournes is Tollymore Forest Park which is a beautiful estate with woodland walks , waterfalls , and great examples of local birds and wildlife. It well worth a visit.

The Mournes form a romantic backdrop to the charms of Strangford and Carlingford Loughs , which lie either side of the mountains.
If you are visiting the Mournes the perfect base is the splendid ” Slieve Donard Hotel “
