  • Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark
    Applicant UNESCO Global Geopark Mourne Gullion Strangford, UK Geographical and geological summary 1. Physical and human geography The Mourne Gullion Strangford Aspiring UNESCO Global Geopark (aUGGp) is midway between the cities of Belfast (UK) and Dublin (Republic of Ireland) and is located on the main road and rail network that connects the two. Belfast has a population of 340,220 people whilst Dublin has a population of 1,346,359 people. The main city is Newry that is within 1-hour travelling time of two international airports (Dublin and Belfast International), one regional airport (George Best Belfast City), and two international passenger ferry ports (Warrenpoint and Dublin). The Mourne Gullion Strangford aUGGp is located in the SE of Northern Ireland, adjacent to the border with the Republic of Ireland. The aUGGp has an area of 960 sq km, and a population of 100,322. The mean population density is 106.62 people per sq km but this ranges from the sparsely populated upland areas to the urban centres of Newry, Downpatrick, Newcastle and Kilkeel. The region boasts 3 discrete upland regions in the Dromara Hills, Mourne Mountains, and Slieve Gullion. The highest point is within the Mourne Mountains and is Slieve Donard at 850 m. The uplands are surrounded by lowlands covered in glacial sediment, much of which is in the form of drumlins. The mountains are dissected by valleys formed by ice during the last glaciation. Carlingford Lough, a drowned glacial valley, lies on the southern edge of the proposed Geopark, and Strangford Lough, the largest sea inlet in the UK and Ireland, lies at the eastern edge of the proposed Geopark, both of which are important to the early human history of the region and later as major transport routes.
