A Small Hill with a View.
by sandman  24 May 2016
The hill is situated in a special area of conservation not far from the world famous Belleek Pottery factory.No problems with access as ownership is mostly commonage .I parked at G9769963240 starB adjacent to a disused dwelling on the track shown on OS17 situated between hill and border .The views from the summit (G9766463723 starC) which is not the trig are fantastic so a clear day is a must.As the day was sunny i spent an enjoyable afternoon exploring the area.
