Thank you kevin carroll. If I can put a smile on that contrary face, the Matterhorn should be a cakewalk.

Picture: A curious sign to welcome you to the summit!		  
A Gateway Hill
Short Summary created by march-fixer, Dessie1, wicklore  6 Nov 2012 Black Hill is easily approached either from the well defined track starting at the car park at O04387 10862 (Point A) or from the start of Lodge Lane O01999 10104 (Point B). Depending on your approach, the road leading up from Ballysmuttan Bridge to the Sorrel Hill car park can be potholed. This is a common route to the Sorrel Hill car park. A better approach is from Blessington to the west along the N81.

From the car-park, it is less than 2kms to the top of Black Hill with an ascent of about 150 metres. There is some open bog to cross as the track does not quite reach the summit. As you climb views emerge of the Blessington Lakes below Black Hill to the west. Strangely enough, as you arrive at the summit you are met with a sign telling you that you are leaving the Wicklow Mountains National Park! (The boundaries of the Park are curious, and have to do with private ownership of some hills).

The longer route starts from the the bottom of Lodge Lane and follows the route up The Green Lane onto the summit, however, this is a 2 car linear walk. Along this route there is the standing stone monument to the WWII air-crew that crashed O03334 08965 (Point C).

Black Hill is an obvious route to Mullaghcleevaun which lies just a few kms to the SE. Black Hill is also a common starting point for a Mullaghcleevaun – Carrigvore circuit. Moanbane and Silsean are easily reached from Black Hill. The summit of Black Hill is a typical Wicklow job – fairly featureless flat bog with a few stones at the ‘summit’
Point A: O04387 10862 Point B: O01999 10104 Point C: O03334 08965

by madfrankie  7 Feb 2005 With its expansive views Black Hill certainly isn't the dullest hill in Wicklow. And it's great for short outings (eg. introducing the novice / unenthusiastic to the great outdoors). That's Sorrell Hill in the background.

by csd  1 Jun 2003 Although today (June 1st) was allegedly a summer's day, the mist and rain were down. Absent the views, there isn't much remarkable about Black Hill - it's a typical "grassy dome" summit. Even in the mist navigation to the summit is easy. There's a track from the car park most of the way up, and after that peters out, you simply continue heading up the slope. Photo shows the rather forlorn cairn at the summit.
