Northern Ireland’s Mourne Mountain Range is voted prettiest in the UK

Surprise surprise, GoT was filmed there


Mourne mountain range has been voted prettiest in the UK.

Northern Ireland’s mountain range has been voted prettiest in the UK according to a survey by The Countryman Magazine. The range beat Snowdonia to the title.

The view of Snowdonia came in second to NI’s finest slab of stone with 16 per cent of the vote. While Isle of Skye, Lake District and Pembrokeshire also made the top five of the nation’s favourite views. But it was the Northern Irish Mourne mountain range that was voted top for prettiest view. The mountain range is featured in Game of Thrones and was the inspiration for C S Lewis’ Chronicles of Narnia, so it’s no surprise.
