From the plains of the northern half to the Mourne mountains in the south there are barely 50 miles end to end. Add to this about 140 miles of coastline and all the pleasures of sea and land are at hand.
People often wonder how to make the most of the outdoors.
Some like to ramble across the hills and mountains or through the woods and country parks. Others like to get wet and windsurf out to sea. Many who come to the region like to enjoy the great outdoors while engaged in some activity. Bird watching for instance, means you don't have to move about much. Its ease of access makes it ideal for people of all physical abilities to enjoy being outside in a natural environment.
