Such is the beauty and history of Visit Mourne that it has inspired pagan chiefs and patron saints, writers, inventors, engineers and visitors from all corners of the world for millennia.

Our people make our place

Living here in partnership with nature, the people of Visit Mourne are to be found every day in their craft breweries and distilleries, their artisan shops, and on farms that produce some of the finest local food on the island.

Family Breaks

Whoever it was that put this place together had children in mind - just look at it. The Mountains of Mourne are like something straight out of a children’s novel. Indeed, they inspired a certain C.S. Lewis to take to his desk and weave his magic in Narnia.
Wellness Weekends

The famous singer, Van Morrison, once said that in life “there’s always got to be a struggle”. We’re big fans of the great man in these parts, but we like to think you can give your soul a wee rest from time to time.
Walking Holidays

There are few places on the island better suited to the walker than Visit Mourne. With almost one hundred different mountain peaks, a feast of forest trails and a seemingly endless choice of river, lake and seaside strolls, you’ll need a good strong pair of shoes to tackle everything this place has to offer.
Golf Breaks

Many of the world’s finest fairways and truest greens are right here under the watchful eye of the Mourne Mountains.
