The Aroma of Autumn is in the Air

There’s something very special in the air in Mourne Gullion and Strangford now that the summer sun is ebbing away. You can feel the crisp autumn breeze, curl up at the crackling log fire and watch the bristling leaves, floating delicately towards the ground.  All this inspires us to immerse ourselves in the changing landscape.

There is so much this area has to offer at this time of year.  From the traditional celebration of the Harvest Festival, to the thrill and excitement of events at Christmas, it's the perfect time of year to get out and enjoy our Giant Adventures.
