Summary for Binnion Hill : Road Almost To The Summit

Summary created by Aidy 2015-09-30 20:00:07

MountainViews.ie picture about Binnion Hill — Picture: *View of the hill from the East*

Turn off the public road at A (C31795 06132) on to what seems like a private road up to the masts on the summit. I had asked at a nearby farm and was assured it would be OK to use this road, although it did pass a house, and it may be advisable to check there too. At a tumbled down house just before a closed gate, there was plenty of room to park (B (C32278 05508)), and from there its was only 200 metres or so along the track to the unmarked summit. After crossing the gate you may be walking through cattle as I was.

Expansive Views Along The Foyle

by Aidy 30 Sep 2015

Easy little hill as I took the car up a road almost to the top, avoiding walking through farmland. I had been assured at a nearby farm that this would be OK. The summit is unmarked but close to the mast. Views were surprisingly expansive, particularly down on the River Foyle. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1303/comment/18337/
