Picture: The road to the summit...and the exciting view from the summit.		  
by madfrankie  25 Aug 2009 If you like low undramatic hills covered in coniferous forestry, with an out-of-the-way vibe, than this is the place for you.
Being the lazy sort, I was a mite disappointed to discover the gates described by Salamander (grid ref R5295 8975 (Point A)) locked. So it was on with the boots and up the tarred road. We were soon into low cloud, but it wasn't long before the RTE transmission tower and buildings loomed out of the gloom. The unmarked summit is no more than a rise in the grass beside the tower. The low cloud reduced visibility, but I'm not sure we were missing much.
You should be up and down in about an hour.
Point A: R5295 8975

Picture: Maghera masts with residue snow
by paddyhillsbagger  17 Jan 2010 Unlike some other comments, I enjoyed the hike to the top of Maghera as it afforded a fine vista of the surronding hills all the way up and down the RTE road. I did get a bit of rain on the top but it soon cleared. An easy top to bag.

by mkinane  27 Aug 2009 Its well worth walking up from the other side, as it has little planted foresty and great veiws over looking Galway and Lough Cutra Castle in the distance.

by salamander  3 Feb 2008 Thought i might park at foot of the mountain and take the path up. Turns out there's a road all the way up to the mast on the top. Unfortunatly trees obscure any view, though i didn't have time to look around much. This hill was a bit of a let down.
