Mourne Gullion Strangford UNESCO Global Geopark Essentials

This UNESCO Global Geopark encompasses the granite peaks of the Mourne Mountains, the volcanic Ring of Gullion, and the glacial landscape of Strangford Lough. Highlights include Slieve Donard, Northern Ireland’s highest summit, and the 18th-century Castle Ward, known for its dual-style architecture and Game of Thrones filming sites. The region is deeply connected to Saint Patrick, with his reputed burial place at Down Cathedral and the medieval ruins of Inch Abbey. Prehistoric heritage is preserved at the Legananny Dolmen and Ballynoe Stone Circle, while coastal landmarks like the Saint John’s Point Lighthouse mark the Irish Sea border.
