Undulating towards Carlingford Lough, the foothills of the Mournes lie between the high Mournes and Kilkeel Coastal Plain. The area is characterised by traditional farmsteads, a mix of unimproved and improved grassland, scrub and boulder fields, green lanes and stone walls. This tapestry of farmsteads, field boundaries, farmland habitats, forestry and bog vegetation contribute to the overall scenic appeal and ecological diversity. River and stream corridors dissect foothills.
