Little hill, big views.
by TommyV  22 Aug 2022
Sheemore is a little hill that offers big views. The hill can be accessed from a gate on the North side a little bit over the road from the Sheemore Ambush monument, although parking is tight around here. Note that this hill is on private farmland and you will encounter livestock, however we met a number of people climbing this hill so there doesn't appear to be any issues by the land owner.
