The séimhiú of mhór is odd, since mullach is usually masculine and so one would expect 'Mullach Mór'. Price recorded the pronunciation 'Mullawore'. Theoretically, it could be Mullach Corr. However, in addition to the difficulty of explaining the Mullacor is the 177th highest summit in Ireland. Our data has reached 65% of the goal for this summit. (Details)

COMMENTS for Mullacor

by brenno 18 Mar 2008 Not a comment on Mullacor per se this, but sadly a comment on the detritus that some wallkers are leaving behind them on the saddle between Mullacor and Lugduff - in the clearing just where the Wicklow Way goes into the forest on the way back to Glendalough. It might be because the circuit of the Spink and back to Glendalough via the WW is becoming more and more polular but this clearing is a mess - discarded tea bags (why can't people make their tea before they come out on the hills), banana skins, some plastic bottles and more
People - these bits of rubbish might eventually decompose (I'm not sure if tea bags even do) but what about "leave no trace". It's no big deal to take your rubbish back to the car with you - there's loads of bins in the car park in Glendalough.

by Spiderman 26 Feb 2008 Well this was only my second outing (ever) and after walking the Spinc last week we decided to up the ante on Sunday last. From the car park at Glendalough we walked to the foot of Derrybawn and ascended from the turn at the bridge directly up to the next path. As a first 'climb' and out of breath we waited where unfortunately one of ours was unable to continue and thus lost six of our number back to the Spinc. Ten souls (including Simba the Sheltie) continued upward to the summit through the heather. With six novices (+ Simba) we found the going tough enough but the view from the summit was beautiful. After a short stop for lunch – which seems to be that much more satisfying after a climb – we traversed the windy ridge toward Mullacore.

Mucky booted and with a sable Sheltie which now looked more like a long haired fox, complete with black undercarriage(!) we slowly made our way up a boggy Mullacore and reached the summit now three hours after beginning the trek. Satisfying! The descent was slow enough but there was a bit of traffic coming our way all complete with smiley faces. We reached the boardwalk which denotes the Wicklow Way. After a short stop for refreshments in the forest we made our way back to Glendalough where we met up with the rest of our number.

As a novice I’m not sure if this is what is necessarily required by way of prose from our walk. Constructive comments would be appreciated. Thanks.

by djouce 29 Nov 2003 Good views from the top over Glendalough valley. Can be climbed with Lugduff from Glendalough car park. Walk along the northern shores of the lake, cross the river, head up the
slope to the top of Lugduff, on to Lugduff SE Top and over the boards to Mullacor. Then descend via Derrybawn to Glendalough. Time needed about 4 hours.

Picture: Mullacor and Cullentragh (left and centre) Expand pics.

by csd 25 Mar 2005 Another route taking in Mullacor starts from the Shay Elliot memorial on the Military road. Follow the forest track up towards Cullentragh. After taking in the summit of Mullacor, head towards the Wicklow Way boardwalk and turn left towards Glenmalur. Some nice views of Glenmalur and Fraughan Rock Glen available on the way down. Follow the forest tracks back to the car parking area at the Shay Elliot memorial (the Harvey map shows them with reasonable accuracy). The picture shows the approach to Mullacor and Cullentragh (left and centre) from the south east.

Picture: Mullacor summit cairn. Expand pics.

by csd 25 Mar 2005 The approaches to Mullacor are becoming badly eroded. Picture shows the small summit cairn surrounded by typical boggyness! Not much to see in the mist, but as Mullacor has one foot in Glendalough and the other in Glenmalur, it offers great views of both when it's clear. Mountain Views's GPS co-ordinates are within 30 metres of the actual summit.

by mneary34 18 Jan 2006 This is a view of Mullacor taken from the upper slopes of Clohernagh at T060 927 (Point A). In the foreground are the top of the steep northern slopes of Glenmalure and then the more gentle rising slopes to the summit of Mullacor. I've mostly climbed Mullacor on a circuit of Glendalough passing from Derrybawn to Lugduff although the Wicklow Way passes through the centre of the photo at the col west ( to the left ) of the summit.

Point A: T060 927
