Autumn · Down

Mourne Mountains

Granite peaks, reservoirs, forest and the historic Mourne Wall create Northern Ireland’s best-known mountain landscape.

Why visit in autumn

A rewarding seasonal stop.

Clear autumn days can bring excellent visibility and colour around the forests and lower valleys.

What to look for

  • Slieve Donard
  • Mourne Wall
  • Tollymore Forest Park
  • Silent Valley

Plan it well

The high Mournes are serious mountain terrain. Carry navigation equipment and select a route appropriate to the forecast.
