About Mourne Gullion Strangford Geopark

The area’s spectacular beauty has been forged by nature, torn apart by volcanic activity and sculpted by ice, providing a stunning backdrop to remarkable people and places. This dramatic and thriving landscape is where people live and work every day. A warm welcome awaits you in Mourne Gullion Strangford Geopark – with its mesmerizing blend of stunning landscapes, rich geological history, and vibrant cultural heritage.

Things to do

The Mourne Gullion Strangford UGGp has over 400 million years of geological history. It charts the closure of the Iapetus Ocean and the bringing together of the two parts of what we now know as the island of Ireland, its passage through tropical latitudes, the birth of the North Atlantic Ocean, and finally the shaping of landscape by ice during the last glaciation.
