Description
Description | The Mourne Mountains Gateway project is a proposed cable car or gondola ride intended to attract 350,000 visitors annually. Initially planned for Slieve Donard, the project was moved to Rostrevor after the National Trust declined to lease land on Slieve Donard. The project involves constructing a cable car route and associated tourism facilities, but the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has blocked the use of land in Rostrevor forest, halting the project at that location. |
