A blanket of cloud covered the higher Cooleys from Foxe's Rock to Foye but Slievenagloch was in the clear - happy days! Lots of logging activity at 9.30 of a Monday morning, so no space to park at...

I followed Sandmans instructions - thanks for those - it's a bit of a time consuming and boring climb, and the views from the top arent great. I wouldnt prioritise it if you have time constraints ...

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/

One for summit baggers only!
by TommyV  25 Oct 2018
This is an easy walk out and back along a forest track starting at R52403 89504 C. This track joins with a tarred road that leads to the summit. The views at the top are restricted as the mountain is planted with trees. The fact that my best picture is of the actual large mast at the top of the hill says it all. Hard to believe this is the second highest point in Clare. One for the summit baggers only. Trackback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/838/comment/20099/

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/

salamander on Maghera, 2008
by salamander  3 Feb 2008
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/
