Slieve Foye is the most southerly summit and also the most easterly in the Cooley/Gullion area. Slieve Foye is the highest point in county Louth.

Something for everyone

by paulocon 5 Jun 2012 Fast becoming my old reliable, I've seen Foye in all weathers and it never fails to lift the mood. If you're planning on climbing the mountain, be sure to also take in some of the ridge as the rock-strewn landscape offers so much to explore. Every walk or run on the mountain reveals something new.
