Mullaghmeen is the highest point in Co. Westmeath but, at 261m, it has the distinction of being the lowest of all the county tops in Ireland. A walk to its summit is described in Paul Clements' book The Height of Nonsense (147-53). The hill also gives name to the townland (par. Foyran) in which it is located. Mullaghmeen is the 1267th highest place in Ireland. Mullaghmeen is the highest point in county Westmeath.

A walk in the woods

by Colin Murphy 30 May 2016

Followed jackill's route through the forest. Car to car it took us 90 minutes, although we did go astray for a while so I reckon you can do this in 70 minutes. It's a pleasant walk stroll through mature evergreens, with very little in the way of steep climbing - you could easily do it in trainers. Save it for a sunny Sunday afternoon.
