NI Orienteering @ Mussenden Temple

You’re invited to discover the joy of self-navigation and finding your way in the great outdoors within the grounds of Downhill Demesne.

  • Booking essential
  • Admission applies

Come along and explore the stunning National Trust grounds of Mussenden perched above the north coast. North West Orienteering club will welcome you and have two courses for you to navigate your way around.

A sense of direction is helpful but the courses are aimed at those with little experience and there will be coaches to help explain things. So, all you really need is a sense of adventure!
