Trig-bench

As mentioned before Lettermore Hill has a pretty well fitted out trig pillar. A very pleasant quick walk to the top is worth it if you're in the area. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1372/comment/17976/

Drive onto Lettermore island, then at Lettermore village take first right. Park at space just before cottage at Brandy (L89230 29062). Then proceed up hill to see a stunning vista. And this has the only trig pillar with a seat on all four sides ! Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1372/comment/17624/

It takes less than ten minutes to walk to the top of this little hill. For such little effort the views are spectacular. Sandman's directions are spot on. Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/1372/comment/20161/
