Aghaglasheen: Highest point on the peninsula

Summit Comment TommyV 4 days ago
I started from a similar location mentioned by sandman but didn't use any tracks. I hoped a fence and headed North until I reached the summit. Lovey early morning views of the North Mayo coast.

Simple ascent , tremendous views, bring insect repellant.
by Colin Murphy  10 Aug 2020
Parking available at at L 83197 43862 starA. Open hillside to the east - a gentle climb over rocky/grassy terrain. A mere 95m ascent will see you at the summit, which is marked by a cairn and presents tremendous views. At the time of writing the cairn is infested with some form of flying insect that swarm in vast numbers about humans, so be prepared. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1301/comment/20851/
