I spend a lot of time in Down and it’s never mentioned in the same breath as Donegal, Cork or Kerry but I think it’s just as beautiful. Especially the Mourne area.
If you talk about it too much, people will think you have Down syndrome.

It’s an amazing County that should really get a lot more tourism.
Aside from the weather though I think a lot of people get confused by the phrase “I’m heading up to Down for the weekend”. It’s like a cognito-hazard, people just wander away when they hear that.

There are parts of Co Down that rival the best spots in Wicklow, absolutely stunning.
That said there are villages completely compromised and destroyed during the summer with flegs and symbols so hostile to outsiders they make Royston Vasey in the league of gentlemen seem welcoming, coupled with the fact that tourism NI have always been reluctant to encourage and promote tourism in any sort of meaningful way outside of Belfast and the Giants Causeway.

I don’t talk about it because I love hiking in the Mourne mountains and don’t want it to get overcrowded. It’s probably my favorite place in the whole Ireland.
So whoever is reading this post, don’t go it’s not worth it, the pics are AI /s

Because it’s in Northern Ireland IMO. Those counties don’t get the same amount of coverage and people in Ireland are less likely to have visited them, possibly as a hangover from the Troubles. That’s my own theory any way.
I think it’s a lovely spot to visit. I hiked Slieve Donard and it was class. There is much more than that to see though.
