MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Crockbrack (<i>Cnoc Breac</i>) in area Sperrin Mountains, Ireland
Picture: View from the SW
 
Southeastern outlier of High Sperrins
Short Summary created by simon3, Onzy  22 Aug 2021
Crockbrack is situated in the southeast corner of the network of roads which cordon off the high Sperrins. As such, it is easily reached either from the B47 to the south or the B40 to the east. Given its position there are substantial views, particularly to the south and east.

From the south, one approach is from a gated track at H705 944 starA. After 200m the track forks; the right track heading towards the hill until it peters out at around 370m. There is a fence on the left which leads all the way to the top. It is possible to park at the bridge H69553 94018 starB

From the B40 to the east, a number of starting points are possible including making use of tracks leaving the B40 at either H749 974 starC or H754 967 starD.

There is a substantial fence junction at H71714 95747 starE. The actual summit is 100-150m along the fence heading west from this point.

Be aware that should you attempt to walk straight to Mullaghsallagh which is to the west, you may be stopped for farming reasons. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/403/comment/5162/
