Short Summary created by aidand,  1 Jul 2013
There is a large RTE transmitter on the top of Maghera with a tarred road up to the summit. There is room to park several cars at the, usually locked, gates at R529 897 A. Allow just over an hour for the walk to and from the top. This is a pleasant enough walk through coniferous forest. During my visit there were large numbers of orchids in bloom on the roadside near the summit. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/838/comment/5597/

Unlike some other comments, I enjoyed the hike to the top of Maghera as it afforded a fine vista of the surronding hills all the way up and down the RTE road. I did get a bit of rain on the top but it soon cleared. An easy top to bag. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/838/comment/4363/

If you like low undramatic hills covered in coniferous forestry, with an out-of-the-way vibe, than this is the place for you.
Being the lazy sort, I was a mite disappointed to discover the gates described by Salamander (grid ref R5295 8975 B) locked. So it was on with the boots and up the tarred road. We were soon into low cloud, but it wasn't long before the RTE transmission tower and buildings loomed out of the gloom. The unmarked summit is no more than a rise in the grass beside the tower. The low cloud reduced visibility, but I'm not sure we were missing much.
You should be up and down in about an hour. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/838/comment/4047/

Its well worth walking up from the other side, as it has little planted foresty and great veiws over looking Galway and Lough Cutra Castle in the distance. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/838/comment/4054/

Thought i might park at foot of the mountain and take the path up. Turns out there's a road all the way up to the mast on the top. Unfortunatly trees obscure any view, though i didn't have time to look around much. This hill was a bit of a let down. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/838/comment/2955/
