The Mourne and Cooley Mountains are quite simply a hiker's
paradise. The highest and most dramatic mountain range in Northern
Ireland, the Mournes hug the County Down coastline in a compact
region designated as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The
Cooley Peninsula - a finger of land in County Louth bounded in the
north by the spectacular Carlingford Lough - is one of Ireland's
best kept secrets. These exhilarating walks will take you to the
highest point in Northern Ireland. Trek through the picturesque
woodland trails of Castlewellan and Tollymore. Discover the highest
passage tomb in Ireland. Walk along an old smuggler's route,
tranquil reservoirs and the sand-dunes of Murlough Nature Reserve.
The more ambitious will relish the Mourne Wall challenge, and some
summits include optional scrambles to the top of dramatic granite
tors or rocky outcrops. Each graded route is illustrated with
photographs and specially drawn maps. Snippets on the rich flora,
fauna, geology, history, heritage and folklore of each area are
included throughout. So, get your walking boots on and discover the
impressive landscape that spawned the legend of the Tain Bo
Cuailnge and inspired C. S. Lewis' magical world of Narnia.
