The Trust was established in 1997 to manage the Mourne Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It is an independent limited company and a registered charity, dedicated to protecting and enhancing this special landscape. The Mourne AONB is located in the southeast of Northern Ireland and covers 570 square kilometres (57,000 hectares). It includes the Mourne Mountains, a beautiful coastline, and the ancient uplands of Slieve Croob. The area is rich and varied, with lakes, reservoirs, farmland, drumlins, beaches, and sand dunes creating a distinctive and diverse landscape. The Trust’s mission is: Our work encompasses AONB management, erosion control, heritage, wildfire management, volunteering, countryside services and more. We work collaboratively with NMDCC, National Trust, NI Water and others. |
