NICKY on Croaghcarragh
by NICKY
20 Feb 2008
In my opinion the best route for doing this ridge is to park in a layby beside Crummie's Bay ( Dunree Cp (C294 392)). It is situated just a few yards after the turn off for Dunree Fort. Then follow the road on round which runs parallel to the ridge itself via Milltown, Cartha and Hill Side. When you come to the end of this road simply turn left and walk steeply up to Mamore Gap and onto the small track on the left hand side, just past the small car park. This takes you to the top of the ridge. The first top is this one, Croaghcarragh. The photo shows Croaghcarragh from the Urris Hills. I think the group on top were from Magee Hillwalking Club. (See Urris Hills for next part of the walk) Linkback: mountainviews.ie/summit/835/comment/2970/

Seems Grander Than It Is
by Aidy
28 Mar 2017
Climbed on the way to the Urris HIlls from Mamore Gap, and like all the hills on both sides of the gap, I was captivated by the rugged terrain and the amazing views. All these hills have the feel of much bigger mountains than they actually are and the day I spent there must be among the most enjoyable walks I've had.

Rugged area with wonderful hills
by Colin Murphy
18 Apr 2022
I agree with Aidy in that this group of hills (Mamore, Croaghcarragh & Urris) appear to be much more substantial than they actually are. There are all rugged, rocky tops with fine, well-defined summits and more resemble something from the Maamturks or the Twelve Bens. The views over the surrounding mountains and Lough Swilly are also tremendous. It was a bit misty the day I did them, but I can imagine that on a fine day these would be truly spectacular.
