Coastlines, Mountains, and Routes Through Historic Landscapes

From the Causeway Coast and Glens to the Mourne Mountains, lakelands, and rolling countryside, Northern Ireland contains a diverse network of routes, landscapes, and places shaped by geology, history, and centuries of settlement. Trails such as the Causeway Coast Way, Mourne Way, Ulster Way, and Lecale Way reveal many of these environments, while landscapes including the Mourne Mountains, Causeway Coast, Strangford and Lecale, Sperrins, and Fermanagh Lakelands showcase some of the region's most distinctive natural environments.

Long-distance routes pass through coastal landscapes, mountain terrain, forests, lakelands, and rural communities, linking places shaped by Northern Ireland's culture, geography, and heritage. Together, these routes and landscapes reveal the character of the region while providing opportunities to explore at a slower pace through self-guided travel and independent exploration.
