Mourne Country: A Journey Through the Majestic Mountains and Beyond

By Gareth McCormack

'I have seen landscapes which, under a particular light, made me feel that at any moment a giant might raise his head over the next ridge.' - C.S. Lewis

The magnificent mountains of Mourne have long inspired artists and writers. Here, author and photographer Gareth McCormack shares his passion, knowledge and stunning pictures of these sweeping peaks, including the great Slieve Donard, Slieve Bearnagh and Slieve Binnian, with its otherworldly granite tors.

He travels further into Mourne Country, to the towns of Newcastle by the sea, Dundrum and Kilkeel, and the estates of Tollymore, Rostrevor and Castlewellan, and finds monuments that bear witness to lives long ago, from pre-historic dolmens to smugglers' routes, Norman castles to traditional stone walls.
