Ballyguile Hill: Undemanding walk to an unprepossessing summit

Summit Comment hibby 4 days ago
Ballyguile is another hill that, were it not for the Local 100 list, I might never have been aware of. We parked in an estate called Mountainview (a propitious name!) and used the recommended...

Knockbrack: Short walk to decent views

I'll be honest; I had never heard of Knockbrack until it showed up near the tail end of my "Local 100" list. A little bit of research and I came across the fascinating fact that it may be the...

Coastal Loop of the Other Inishbofin
by dino  12 Jul 2022
I came here on a group walk with the Bluestack Ramblers Walking Club. It was a coastal loop only and I didn't make it to the highest point of the island as the walk was being led by one of the club leaders.

However, the walk around the coast was absolutely brilliant. Despite rough seas we got dry and sometimes sunny weather with great views. The seven sisters were fully visible from Muckish to Errigal as was Cnoc Fola. We also had great views out to Inishdooey and Tory.

We were continually surprised by the variety of geology and landscape on such a small island. Definitely worth a visit.
