Slieve Donard

"The Slieve Donard circular route is an 8.9km out and back hike that is quite challenging at times. Park at the Slieve Donard Parking and follow the river, all the way to the saddle of the mountain. The paths are clear though not sign posted. From the saddle the path climbs quite steeply, you then get some amazing iews before climbing beside the Mourn wall. This is the steepest and most challenging section of the climb. Slieve Donard is Northern Irelands highest peak and on a clear day can offer great views of the surrounding countryside. Good hiking boots, waterproofs and layers recommended. See AllTrails link for details about the hike, where it starts etc. Bring a swimsuit, the river has loads of lovely places to swim!"
