A few days later (after a visit to Giant's Causeway) we arrived in Donard Park. Yes this is a park, with athletic fields and walking trails. This is the very bottom of Slieve Donard, the highest mountain in Northern Ireland.
The path follows the river 2.5 miles to a .5 mile ascent to the saddle between Slieve Donard and Slieve Commedagh (the 2nd highest peak in Northern Ireland). Then we climbed through the cloud cover following the Mourne Wall to the summit. The Mourne Wall runs over several of the Mourne Mountains and it is 40 miles long. The views at the summit were great, and next up is to the top of Ireland.
