Newcastle sits at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, right below the highest peak in Northern Ireland — a genuinely dramatic setting for a seaside town.
The highest mountain in Northern Ireland
Newcastle sits at the foot of the Mourne Mountains, a granite range formed by overlapping intrusions millions of years ago. Slieve Donard, which rises directly behind the town to 850 metres, is the highest peak in Northern Ireland and has had settlements on its slopes dating back to 5,500 BC.
A wall built across fifteen summits
The Mourne Wall, completed in 1922, runs for 22 miles over 15 summits to enclose the catchment of the Silent Valley and Ben Crom reservoirs. The mountains were also made famous by Percy French's 1896 song named after them, which helped bring visitors to the area for generations.
