“The Newry and Mourne area has an exceptional landscape and it was great to see local people turning out to explore the area.”

Tamasin Wilson of Newry and Mourne Council said,

“We are delighted to be able to give the whole family an opportunity to learn about and enjoy the Ring of Gullion area and will be running another guided walk later in the year.”
