Summary for Corick Mountain (Cnoc an Chomraic): Unremarkable top and a bit of a slog

Summary created by Colin Murphy 2023-04-24 15:00:42

MountainViews.ie picture about Corick Mountain (<em>Cnoc an Chomraic</em>) — Picture: *Summit area*

There is parking for several cars at the entrance to the Glenshane Forest at A (C77643 04324). Walk SW down track (losing about 30m elevation) before turning NW across the Roe River at B (C77128 03821). Continue along this track for about 700m, cross gate and turn left (west) up a steepish, grassy slope with forest on the left. You will have to work your way around a couple of trees, but will eventually emerge onto open hillside at C (C76575 04256) after about 500m. The remainder of the 800m climb to the SW is somewhat of a slog up through heather to the summit area next to a fence/ditch, but otherwise unmarked.

eflanaga on Corick Mountain

by eflanaga 25 Oct 2007

Topped Corrick one cool Sunday morning in January last year as part of a circuit that took in White Mt, Bohilbreaga, over Craig-na-Shoke cliffs and on to Mullaghmore. Walk from White Mtn to Corrick is across heavy, boggy ground but some great views across Glenshane towards Carntogher, Carn Hill and as the picture shows along Corrick's length towards Benbradagh's sheer western end. Corrick , overlooking the Glenshane pass, is itself very wet and boggy even on the driest of days. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/688/comment/2873/

Going with the stream

by Colin Murphy 24 Apr 2023

This hill offered little in the way of views, although when I did it on a cloudless spring day, the walk was enlivened by a couple of streams and the Roe River snaking it's way northwards. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/688/comment/23931/
