Where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea |
||
Murlough Beach at Newcastle, County Down faces south towards Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh in the Mourne Mountains. The beach is one of the most popular destinations in Northern Ireland. To the south allows a great vista of "where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea", fabled words of songwriter Percy French. Slieve Donard at 850m dominates the landscape and is Northern Ireland's highest mountain. Both Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh have been owned and managed by the National Trust since 1990. |
