armagh
The passage tomb on Slieve Gullion's summit is the highest in Ireland and older than Stonehenge, aligned to catch the setting sun on the winter solstice. Below it lies Calliagh Bherra's Lough of Irish legend, and on the eastern slope an award-winning forest park with a story trail, adventure playpark and a scenic drive.
Ring of Gullion, armagh
The Ring of Gullion was the first ring dyke in the world to be geologically mapped: a near-perfect ring of hills thrown up around the central dome of Slieve Gullion. On the mountain's slopes sits Ireland's highest surviving passage tomb; below it, the Forest Park runs a café, a giant-themed children's trail and waymarked walks.
Newcastle, armagh
Recognised by UNESCO on 26 May 2023, the Mourne Gullion Strangford Geopark covers 1,932 km² of granite peaks, a mapped volcanic ring and the largest sea inlet in Britain and Ireland. Its 'Tale of Two Oceans' spans 400 million years, from the granite summit of Slieve Donard to the Cloughmore Stone above Rostrevor.
Crossmaglen, armagh
The Fews are the rough hills and drumlins that fill southern Armagh, held by Gaelic families, poets and outlaws long after the rest of Ulster was planted. The neighbouring Ring of Gullion surrounds Slieve Gullion, a 573-metre mountain. The monuments are scattered and access varies, so check each site before you travel.
