Mourne Gullion Strangford Geopark Strategy

The Mourne Gullion Strangford UNESCO Global Geopark Strategy (2025- 2033) outlines a comprehensive vision that integrates governance, development, communication, protection, infrastructure, finances, and partnerships within the Geopark.
This Strategy and Action Plan promotes sustainable development, community engagement, and heritage conservation across the Mourne Mountains, Ring of Gullion, and Strangford and Lecale areas. By harnessing education, tourism, and local collaboration, it supports sustainable businesses and resilient communities, enhancing environmental stewardship rooted in the unique geological heritage of the region.

Vision and Objectives

Our strategy is anchored in the principles of sustainability, inclusivity, and community empowerment, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and UNESCO’s vision. We aspire to create a geopark that not only celebrates its rich geological history but also serves as a dynamic hub for cultural exchange and sustainable tourism.
