Help us protect this incredible landscape by donating to our Slieve Donard path appeal.

  • The summit of Slieve Donard sees 100,000 people treading the path each year
  • We'll need a helicopter to lift the 1 tonne bags of Mourne granite to the path
  • The National Trust cares for 1400 acres of land in the Mournes

Why give to the National Trust?

As a charity, we rely on the generosity of supporters to look after the outdoor spaces in our care. Not only do our supporters help to conserve beautiful landscapes and protect precious plants and wildlife. But they also ensure that future generations have places they can find freedom from everyday life, reconnect with the natural world and make memories to treasure. Your donation will go towards this project and other vital conservation work in the outdoors at this special place. With your support, we can continue to protect the irreplaceable. For everyone, for ever.
