There is a tradition that the region was ruled in Celtic times by a cow-herd king, Boirche, from a stronghold on Slieve Binnian. This walk travels the length of Binnian&#8217;s summit ridge and provides views across the peaks around the mountain&#8217;s circumference. Along the way are visible remains from a bygone stone industry. Local granite was quarried and exported on such a scale that it is said to have &#8216;paved Lancashire&#8217; and was also used as monumental stone to &#8216;mark the resting place of many a man who never looked on Mourne&#8217;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Slieve Binnian is the most massive of all of the mountains of Mourne and it&#8217;s high, tor-capped summit dominates the countryside (known as the Kingdom of Mourne) isolated between the mountain and the sea.
