[Ed.: We are advised that the Start Point L88170 61411 A is no longer available to the public. Other Start Points for Leenaun Hill are available on mountainviews.ie, e.g., Tracks 1416 or 3640.]
Given Leenaun's location nestled between the Maamturk, Partry, Ben Gorm, Sheefry, Twelve Ben and Mweelrea ranges, it is no surprise that it's namesake hill boasts great views. On a good day, views in all directions are spectacular.

Leenaun Hill is a well climbed hill and easily reached from a number of directions. Perhaps the easiest route for an out and back walk, is from L88170 61411 A, [Ed.: see note above.] on the R366, where there is a gate and a track. Starting from here means an out and back distance of c.6k and 1.5 hours.

There are also a number of potential starting points along the N59. There is room to park one car at L85017 62467 B, and several more at L856 624 C and L870 620 D, where the Western Way leaves the road. Access is also possible from a shared entrance at L87370 61831 E.

Various of these entry and exit points can be combined to keep the walk interesting, perhaps also taking in Bucan to the West. A good route is to begin from one of the points on the N59, climb to Bucan, along the ridges to Leenaun Hill, and descending to the R336. Or to minimise the road walk, the descent to L87370 61831 E, close to the Leenaun Hotel is also a good option. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/246/comment/5006/
