Northern Ireland highest peak is a lovely walk on a nice day. Steep enough to be taxing but easy enough for all ages at a reasonable pace. Check out NI-Wild.co.uk, Northern Irelands outdoors community for more information or to find people to climb it with. http://www.NI-Wild.co.uk

This is probably Northern Ireland's most popular mountain, but not necessarily the most favourite. The are several more exciting and interesting peaks elsewhere in the Mourne Mountains, but Slieve Donard is the highest in Northern Ireland. This is one of two reasons for its popularity. The other reason is the views from the summit on a clear day - well worth the walk up either the Glen River from the north or the Bloody Bridge River from the east. It is nearly always blowing a gale at the summit, so bring something warm if you're planning to stay up there a while to enjoy the views. Expect to see lots of people.

Not as fun as some of the other mourne's nevertheless its a summit that needs to be bagged (highest in Northern Ireland). Descend to the brandy pad which traverses the lower slopes of the mountain with absolutely fantastic views of the bog of donard.

This mountain has great views etc.. A bit too many people around for me though. I prefer the quieter less hiked mountains.
