Brandon Peak: One of the best for sure

Summit Comment Bunsen7 7 hours ago
If you park at Q47044 06865 and follow the track up over Gearhane to Brandon Peak, returning the same way, you will only expend between 2.5 and 3 hours of your time. Quite a small investment ...

Followed jimbloomers directions which are spot on. No fence so access to the open hill is easy although strangely enough there is a fence all the way around the summit. Fantastic views of the...

Making an early start to avoid the summer heat, I was rewarded by the sight of thousands of cobwebs speckled with morning dew nestling among the long grasses and ferns, including the one in t...

Moneyteige North: Good views over S. Wicklow, but mostly uninspiring.

The simplest approach, and one which will not require crossing farmers' fields, is from the forest entrance to the north at T15936 77930, where there is parking for several cars. Follow the m...

Slieveboy: Fertile fields

Summit Comment Colin Murphy a day ago
Given its isolation, the views from Slieveboy are pastoral and pretty rather than breathtaking, although you do get a good sense of the fertile nature of North Wexford from its summit.

Slieveboy: Toppled trig pillar

There is sufficient parking at T02728 57076 B for several cars. From here I followed csd's route up the zigzagging tracks all the way to the summit. It was a beautiful day, very hot and but f...

Barnanageehy: Unsurprisingly blown down by prevailing southerly winds

Summit Comment Bunsen7 2 days ago
Here's a close up of the Iron Man monstrosity.The metal has obviously rotted but I'd say the fact that it was constructed in a "windy gap" with wind funnelling up the valley from the South ha...

Barnanageehy: Great long range views in clear weather

Summit Comment Bunsen7 2 days ago
Enjoyed a walk to this summit on a stunningly clear day. The route from the east is a little tedious but is rewarded in clear weather. The "popular" startpoint beside the telecoms antennae ca...

Crotlieve Mountain Hill Crotshliabh A name in Irish Ir. Crotshliabh [PNNI 3], ‘hump-mountain’ Down County in NI and in Ulster Province, in Binnion List, Granite granophyre Bedrock

This peak in the Mournes, situated just to the east of the Hilltown - Rostrevor road is not to be confused with Cratlieve, a western satellite of Slieve Croob, although the names have the same origin. The name is locally pronounced without the final consonant, as witnessed by the anglicised form Crotley on James Williamson’s map of Co. Down (1810).   Crotlieve Mountain is the 1061th highest place in Ireland.

MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Crotlieve Mountain (<i>Crotshliabh</i>) in area Mourne Mountains, Ireland
Picture: View NE to Rocky Mt from fence near the summit of Crotlieve Mt..		  
An elusive little top.
Short Summary created by Harry Goodman  30 Jan 2014
This hill can be approached either from the W off the B25 Rostrevor to Hill town Rd starting at J205239 A or from the E off the lower Newtown Rd. at J217238 B some 2 km S from the Leitrim Lodge car park. In either case a forestry fence can be followed to the summit area but be warned the actual top lies some 50 metres in from the fence (W) at J2100023950 C and within thick forestry. The top has therefore been seldom visited in the years since the trees have matured and thickened. An approach from the W starts higher and is much shorter than that up from the E. The ground on the climb up is rough and boggy. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1096/comment/15340/
