Aidand's directions are spot on. The road that looks like an entrance to a house actually leads into a forest, it is rough but manageable if you drive very slow. I drove as far as an old abandoned...

Summit Summary Collaborative entry Last edit by: Peter Walker 3 weeks ago
You can start at Ballaghisheen, a mountain pass V671 792. Space here for 3-4 cars. Ballaghisheen is at just over 300m so the climb to the top at around 551m is not a great strain. There is a sign ...

Cooneen Hill: Very average

Nothing to add to simon3's directions. Like quite a few of the hills in North Tipperary, this one is through a Coilte forest track to begin with and then the tough push through some horrible groun...

Summit situated in the townland of Cross. Had an army base on the summit, dismantled around 2001. The second element of Slieve Girkin is suggestive of cuircín, 'crest' or 'comb', which would fit well with the crinkly appearance of the summit when seen from Camlough, but no Irish forms have been found to confirm this.   Camlough Mountain is the 835th highest place in Ireland. Camlough Mountain is the second highest point in county Armagh.

tsunami on Camlough Mountain, 2007
by tsunami  14 May 2007
Hey! I can see my house from here! Just another aspect on Camlough for those of of you who aren't bored of it already. You can see clearly here how Camlough and Slieve Gullion are closely related. Camlough is after all the highest peak of the hills which form the Ring of Gullion - a ring dyke intrusion caused by volcanic uplift.........zzzzzzzzzzzz - well thats for another website, and will be explained by someone who actually knows what they are talking about. the picture shows the village of Bessbrook in the forground and Camlough Mt with the army still in residence with Slieve Gullion behind. The long shoulder to the right is Keggal Mt which I mentioned earlier. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/724/comment/2699/
