Mourne Mountains, Co. Down

The melody and words 'Where the Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea' of the popular song have made the Mournes the best-known mountains in Ireland. In this compact range, 15 miles long and 8 miles wide, only a dozen of the sixty or so individual summits rise above 2,000ft, with Slieve Donard, at 2,796ft, the highest peak in Ulster.
