Unesco has named the Mourne Gullion Strangford region in the south-east corner of Northern Ireland as the UK’s newest Global Geopark in tribute to its geological past and culturally rich present.
The geopark includes three areas of natural beauty: the Ring of Gullion, the Mourne mountains with the 850-metre peak of Slieve Donard, and wildlife-rich Strangford Lough, the UK’s largest coastal lough.
