People living in the Ballymena area are being urged to take a trip to the Mourne Mountains, Cooley Peninsula and Ring of Gullion area for a unique tourism experience.

The area, covering counties Armagh, Down and Louth, is the focus for a new ‘Mourne Cooley Gullion Geotourism’ initiative, launched last week.

The project will promote and enhance the profile of the three areas within one tourism destination, with a particular focus on the significant geology and archaeology.
