It might seem surprising that two major peaks get their name from trees normally found at valley level. However, the tree in question may well be the wych elm, which is the only native Irish elm. It tolerates quite rocky soil and grows in upland areas, particularly in the NW. Even so, the name probably referred to a place on the lower slopes of the range. An Leamhaigh Mhór is the second highest mountain in the Bluestack Mountains area and the 158th highest in Ireland.

Fine summit in the heart of the wilds

by Colin Murphy 11 May 2023

This approach is from SW and forms part of a looped walk including Binnasruel, Lavagh More, Lavagh Beg and Silver Hill. Park at G 896 885 star

A, beside and abandoned cottage, where there is room for a couple of cars. Climb over fence and proceed north up a gently rising slope turning NE at point G898 890 star

B after a few hundred metres where the slope become increasingly steeper. Continue in this direction for approx 2 km to reach Binnasruel, then continue NE for another 2km, passing between a number of small loughs in the col around point G 924 903 star

C. The climb is reasonably easy and the summit is is a broad rocky/grassy area, marked by a cairn. It will take you approx 2.5 hours to reach this Lavagh More from the car Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/154/comment/23947/
