Mourne Gullion Strangford Geopark

The Mourne Gullion Strangford Geopark’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. The area has a mesmerizing blend of stunning landscapes, rich geological history, and vibrant cultural heritage.

The vision statement for the Geopark is “Mourne Gullion Strangford UNESCO Global Geopark-born of fire and shaped by ice, cared by its people and shared with others.”

To deliver on this vision the Geopark has developed a series of actions within 4 key themes:

  • A cared for and cherished place
  • A learning and caring environment
  • Sustainable tourism and economy
  • A Healthy place and space
